Default Safe to put blower on L92?

The compression ratio is 10.5:1. Nobody make a roots style for it as of yet. Do you think it would be safe to put a low boost (6-8psi) intercooled centrifical on these motors? My main concern is reliability but I want sick power too.

Magna Charger has the MP122 available now and the TVS coming in August:




FYI: SICK POWER and reliability do not belong in the same sentence.

if it works with C5Z06's with 10.5 to 1, I'd think its more than possible. Meth would also be a wise idea for summer heat and IAT's besides insurance

Excuse me if I sound like an idiot but, would you inject methanol into the intake or what.
By air intake temps do you mean I should get a gauge to moniter?

There is NO need for meth with this system.

Meth is useful to boost octane and prevent detonation, you also combine that with water and it will help lower IAT (Intake temperatures and prevent detonation as well. Get an Intercooler to keep your intake's low as well. With that high of a compression ration with boost your gonna need to run good fuel, the higher the octane the more detonation resistant the fuel becomes, and as stated earlier methanol is an octane booster which is great once you get into boost.
Call Blownchevy for information on your blower set-up.
