I've been looking into Syncro325is's company's supercharger kit as it's coming along, and I am VERY interested in it. I didn't think this was appropriate to post on that thread, so here I posted.
Call me crazy, but I might be feeling the high boost setting of his kit (claimed 11-13lbs boost). Now regardless of what might be said, I don't trust my stock m20 to hold up to 7lbs right now, much less nearly twice that number. I'm going to convert the car to a 5spd (suggestions on which tranny to choose for this kind of application welcome, as I'm just starting to do the research myself). But on the topic of making the engine tough enough to take that pressure at around 7K rpm...
What should I look at getting my hands on? Obviously a MLS Head gasket and head studs. But should I look into forged pistons and h-beams? How about some more heavy duty pushrods? On this note, what cam should I run? a 304, or some size of Turbo cam, or do you think the stock cam will do fine (though i doubt it)? These questions and more.
Thanks in advance.
