Would it be possible in any way to run 13.5:1 compression engine with a blower?
Motor is a 429 Super Cobra Jet

Uh, possible? Yes. Will it last more than 35 seconds? Seriously doubt it. Drop the C/R if you want a blower. You could NOS it, though. Just not too much.

Just dont get too far out in the lake before any of the pistons shoot out the bottom end of the motor through the bottom of your boat. If you decide to go that route though, let me know because I would like to watch, from a distance of course...

Actually that is not enough........throw 15:1 pistons in that bad boy and then run a 14:71 overdriven 25% http://www.plauder-smilies.com/devil/evil_lol.gif
J/K. Most Blower Motors run 8:1 or 8.5:1 as the blower boosts the overall compression. This is where you need to be. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif

Thanks guys. Just wanted to get some different opinions. It already has NOS on it. This is a jet boat that we sold to a friend. Baracuda already told him not to do it, it runs great the way it is.
Thanks again
