Default Re: Plans for a 478 build.

I get the additional performance with N/A motors but when you start boosting those hair dryers are going be moving a lot of air. That means a lot of fuel and just the thought of boosting through a carb with our intake scares me. The intake charge will favor the side by side ports and starve the single port. The roots style blower would definitely be a better option.


I agree that you could play with the stroke and rod length to obtain more performance. I think you would want to try and reduce the compression height of the piston and that will get this motor to tolerate higher RPMs by reducing piston mass. Plus you'd need something to handle the strokers harmonics.
