project 383 s/c. some questions.

Hey guys, I needed to ask a couple of quick questions that are a little undefined to me. First of all i need a couple of s/c questions. Im gonna go with a centrifugal s/c. With my 383 I want around 400 horses n/a. With the s/c around the 500's. Wat size/boost s/c would i roughly be looking at where i need around a 100hp gain. Also is a 9.5 compression good? im learnin slowly and im just makin sure what im doing is good. What kinda carb would do good in this situation? Oh and i may not be runnin the s/c right off the bat. Is there something that would prohibit me from doing this like my carb or something of the sort

Re: project 383 s/c. some questions.

you're CR is fine as long as you stay around 7psi and you should probably intercool it, 500hp should be a snap at 7 psi on a 400hp motor already. I would recommend a P1SC procharger.

blower/turbo cars have great street manors until you get happy with the right foot.

Re: project 383 s/c. some questions.

im running a 383 with about 9.8:1 compression and a Procharger P1sc with a 2 core intercooler. i made 350rwhp with a chip that wasnt correct to my specs. calculations said i should get a 208hp gain with my 9psi pulley but i have not gotten to a dyno yet.
