Not to sure about the TR224 and a blower...

But the 317s and 243s are the same minus the smaller CC chambers on the 243s..
Thats goin to bump your compression up. how much i cant remember.

yea the stock compression is around 9.4:1 with the 243s it bumps it up to around 9.8
Im not gonna supercharge it for about another year or so so I can save up the funds.

You can make more power with less boost with more CR.. so if you can get them for cheap then i would do it. Just make sure your tune is good.

Id rethink the cam tho. Not exactly what you want for a blower.

9.8/9.1 to 1 compression is great with the Radix, to that I can testify. Much more than that I'd be a bit concerned.

Long as his c/r isn't so lofty, detonation occurs.

What kind of blower u running again, nonnieselman?

Edit:Jonathan, L33 is 9.9. Other people know besides Bill.

I'd bet most any would prefer to say under 10-1. Fuel inj. & alum hds. have been a blessing.

I know u are.
Bill's post count.
