    Check with Whipple to make sure you cam will work right with a supercharger. Most supercharger cams have a higher LSA angle. You didn't post yours.

    9.5 c.r. is too high for a blower.

    Here's a list of manufacturers I put together in case anyone is interested. There's some real good information here.....

    He is right you would probably have to go with water or metahanol injection to run much boost at all...cam specs would help some cams help bleed off compression better than others!

    Thanks everyone, excellent link to blower articles! yes, the CR is to high, you are right. I guess I was trying to fool myself? hummm, not sure of the LSA angle, I lost the cam card long ago. I just have the lift and duration memorized..... But the bottom line is that I need to NOT supercharge this engine ..... TOO many negitives.... Thanks again! Bill
