"I'd like the idea of forced induction."
I'm always looking for more Forced Induction advocates and advice , here's my .$ .02 from previous thread:
I run a Maverick 250 with a centrifugal supercharger in Blow-Thru Carb config', been reliable for @ 2 yrs (2K m ?) . Working on boost vs RPM curves with pulley 'gearing' and pressure relief 'Blow Off' valve. Has stock pistons, cam, ARP head bolts, 302 springs 2X1 adapter and Holley 2300 . AFR's are good through RPM range. Ignition is advance limited. Un-milled OEM iron head with typical @ 62cc chambers yield SCR @ 8:1.
Runs with no faults with boost up to @ 5-8 lbs. Higher boost significantly increases detonation and blow-by
concerns. At @ 3.5 K RPM can easily pass 10 Lbs with current SC ratio's and
often does...
