I'm still looking for a decent project SC and figured I'd look for one with either a blown motor or atleast one with headgasket failure.
with a decent engine buildup, how much, in theory, can it hold before it wants to self destruct (with a safe tune) or the headgaskets want to blow? I guess the reason I ask is that, with the supercharger, you are kind of limited on how much you can do with it (with the exception of the MP blowers) where as with a tubro charged setup, the sky is the limit for the most part and can be done cheeper (I already have quite a bit of stuff I need, not to mention I can fab up most anything else that I don't have).
with a decent tune, build and all else being good (heads/cam/trans/ect), do you think it could handle upwards of 24psi? I'm looking to build it to around the 500whp range
I've been out of the SC scene for a while so I appreciate any feedback. I remember the headgaskets were a big problem on these cars, but if memory serves me it was more from the restrictive heads/manifolds/exhaust... or was it from a defective gasket/head design?
thanks
