lets here what you guys think
11to1 CR useing e98 fuel and boost? is that to much comp or will it be ok 408ci ls1 motor with a twin turbo set up

why not methanol as a fuel? thats what the cool kids are doing these days. LOL

What are your goals for the car?
I'm sure you can throw some boost at it, but how much exactly will take some testing.
I would think 12-14psi at least with no trouble assuming a good intercooler, a good tune and cold plugs.
For a dedicated track car with an a/w intercooler, you would be able to turn it up more of course.
FYI, I ran my old 10-1 iron head blow through 355sbc to 12psi with no problems.

I do not see why it would be an issue. We have run up to 43 psi in our non intercooled lsx at 10 to 1 on e98. We went 6.95 at only 35 psi on the cathedral ports.

I plan to run pump gas E85. I am putting a set of 317 heads on a 5.3 out of a running 2003 suburban. Opening up the ring gap to .028, porting the oil pump, and using arp rod bolts. I can either leave the heads alone and I will have around 9.4 compr or I can have them milled slightly to get to 10.1. This is a daily driver that I will thrash every other weekend at the local drag strip. E85 is everywhere around here. I only planned on going around 15-20 psi of boost. My goal is a modest 5.80's in the 1/8. Would you leave the heads alone or mill them a little to up compression. I don't want to kill it driving on the street though.

Thanks. That 63 is wicked!

I would leave them alone and run 9.4:1 as the gains going to 10:1 would be minimal. All upping the compression would do is make your tuning window a bit smaller. If you plan on running a really good intercooler then I would think about running a little more compression.

Like hellbent said..... Beyond a certain point all the extra compression does is narrow the tuning window and limit how much timing you can run. Up to a point its helpful...past that its counterproductive.

Thanks. Hey I just want to make sure I have this correct. I got the figure 9.4 while searching. A 5.3 block with 317 heads does figure to a 9.4 correct? Someone just mentioned to me it actually drop it down in the 8 compression range. Hmmm can someone set me straight?

Never mind....you just answered me in another thread. Thanks.
