Why would you want to run 8.1 compression with 5lbs of boost?

I would try to get the compression around 9.1 at least and up the boost to at least 8-9 lbs if not more.

The stroker kit you are looking at is a chp kit and you could probably buy it cheaper from fordstrokers or chp. Also i would try and opt for a diff head but if that is what you are set on, its your choice. I would opt for an alum. head made by trick flow or afr if you have the money.

sniperrider Regular Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: olympia washington Posts: 312	okay the kit is set up for 8:1 compression specifically for boost but 5-10 pounds of boost doesnt need compression that low. which is the reason for the 58cc heads to bump the compression up a tad because im not running alot of boost. i opted for iron heads because i what the strength and durablitlity over the aluminum, and dont exactly have the money. and finally 331 instead of 347 because i can only find a few kits with low enough compression to run boost with a 347 plus dont want to deal with the pin and ringland situation on my first engine build. __________________ 90 lx hatch

Do you already have a good running 302 in your car? You are wasting your money with a stroker kit. You are planning on a blower which by accident will make 500rwhp on a 302. Spend that stroker kit money on a set of good aluminum heads. Run a good blower with about 10 pounds of boost and you will have more power than you know what to do with.

Aluminum heads are plenty durable and will handle anything you throw at them. They also disapate heat faster. If strength and durability was an issue you wouldn't see all of these auto makers switching to aluminum heads and blocks.

The pin in the ring land causes no issues except mental issues. Regardless, a stroker is not what you need if you are running a production 5 liter block.
