I bought a 96 cobra a couple months back and have been thinking of doing a procharger, engine was built by previous owner and has all forged internals, the paper work on car says it has flat top pistons so I called to the shop it was worked on to get the official compression ratio and how much hp it could handle the guy told me it could take pretty much anything I throw at it but the compression is to high and anything more than 5 psi is kind of pushing it motor is 10.5:1 compression. Does this sound right, thoughts?
96 cobra compression too high for boost?

I have 10:1 CR and have been running 22psi on race gas for a while. no probs with the motor
That information is completely false. Sounds like the same type of person that would say nitrous prefers low compression.
Thanks guys procharger it is
He probably meant more than 5 psi is pushing it on pump gas.
Haiii. Boost the balls off it. Heads are studded and won't lift lol run 8-10psi see what power you end up with
