anyone know of some one who's supercharged a 4.7 h.o. ? I have heard of the base 4.7 being supercharged , bit not the 4.7 h.o. (compresion to high maybe)?
Who's your source?Doctor Evil said:if you are worried about compression, slap a thicker head gasket on there that will solve that problem.
Yes, it can be done that way but sometimes it can work against you.Doctor Evil said:just an old mechanic buddy of mine. he says by increasing the space between the head and the block it can lower the compression low enough to supercharge (in most cases)
The 96 - 98 Mustang Cobra runs a 32 valve engine 4.6L aluminum block, hyperutectic pistons with 9.85:1 compression. I have read of guys running as much as 14 psi blowers at the track with nothing more than a custom chip made for it.AMC_Racer said:I wouldn't see it being safe to try with an advertised compression ratio of 9.7.
I feel that you're stuck trying to improve performance in more conventional methods.
