woul i be safe running the blower on this motor? Keep in mind I plan on running 100 Octane which I have readily available locally. Any input or thoughts?

cncmotorsports

100 octane yes, make sure you pay very close attention to the amount of boost. 4 - 6 pounds on 100 octane will be fine, any more than that will be border line for detonation ( KB pistons will not tolerate any ). Make sure your timing is 32 or 34 degrees and use a colder spart plug, such as a NGK - 8
I think the number is 5672-8 for the sportsman heads or AR133

Incognegro

I was using the AR132 or 133 I believe. Autolites. 32-34 timing is good? not too high? Also one more question..

Will a holly 750 boost referenced carb be enough flow for this particular Motor and blower combo?

Also, what kind of power will this put out?

cncmotorsports

Carb will be fine, combo should make 500 HP

In my opinion the only worse piston to use for that would be a stock one than a kb cast or hypreutectic in a boosted situation.

Incognegro

Thats what everyone is saying. Dont think Im gonna risk it in this motor.

KB make forged piston also that are very nice and priced pretty good. I have them in my 383.

Got a part number or link? Also my cam is not optimal,would have to change that too.

cncmotorsports

If you change the pistons, here is a link to a New KB Icon.
They are very nice.

Agreed, Hyperutetic and boost not a great idea, but it does work if your a good tuner.

Incognegro

Thats rods and pistons for that price?
