So I was looking at buying a supercharger today (man, im going nuts with this car), and was thinkin to myself "hmm, i bet that changes compression a butt ton".
I know that I've heard in some places before you start adding blowers, you wanna upgrade pistons, rods, and crank. Well, I was thinking about how I know changing combustion chamber volume will affect compression, and the LT4 heads have a 54.4 cc volume, compared to the 54 cc of the LT1. That should adjust compression slightly, right?
So basically, A supercharger would probably be too much for the stock pistons, rods, n crank, RIGHT? I mean throwing 6 psi of boost would be ridiculous combined with the other stuff going on in that motor. I guess I'm really just curious if you think the stock pistons could handle it. I dont know when im going to come up with another 3k for a blower, but if I did I know that before that I'd have to up my suspension and stuff, but could the MOTOR handle it?
Just interested. I'm already in too deep on this LT4, but I want to know how a supercharger would change compression. Also, the supercharger is just a belt driven air pump essentially, right? K, im done
