The problem going the N/A route is RPM, the V8s rods don't like high RPM. Forged Rods, Forged Pistons a full rebuild and balance will probably cost 3.5-4k. Making the engine reliable and then N/A tuning is a lot more expensive than the Blower route, and the blower route has the potential of 600bhp.

Hi Mick
Good point about the N/A and stressing the engine at high revs as I probably wouldn't be able to resist giving it stick.
What would you say is a safe max RPM limit if going down the N/A route without forging? The yanks seem to rate the engine.
I'm perhaps leaning back to superchargers - what's the thoughts on centrifugal superchargers as they seem extremely popular in the states and look to be a very easy kit to fit with a stated 400-406bhp.

Hi Andy
I did read that you need to ensure that the hollow head dowl is in the correct location to ensure correct oil feed so maybe this is the problem.
I don't suppose you could link me to the failed attempt you reference so I can see if that was the problem.
Cheers
