With what I've been able to decipher 9:1 can go to 6 lbs of boost on pump gas,then will need more octane.Water meth makes some wild caims...........

Al, if you have easy access to E85 I would switch to that. 6lbs of boost is 6lbs of boost.

I would guess that's linked to predicted charge temperature increase.

Seems like a pretty "safe" chart. Engines will make more boost under load as well. Doug didn't mention how much boost him and his son made but I'd bet the 2.76 gear made slightly more. It's pretty level with high spikes over 6500.....

Right bank,tried to see how fast I could go on pump gas,,kinda found out Maybe if I took more timing out........ My main issue right now is getting the carbs happy underdriven.They are very blubbery and just NOT happy.I'm thinking if I increase the flow of air through the carbs by spinning the blower faster then the carbs will behave better.12% UD gives me 4 lbs of boost and the carbs are NOT happy.Any more than like 4 to 5% OD I need more octane.

26* on pump gas,,and yes I have always stayed on the fat side to play it safe.Still working on the fuel curve,,,,for years Trying to keep it in the mid 12s @ WOT.Every time I try to increase the boost it was not co-operating.Had a few good passes @ 6 lbs.When I tried to get up to 10 through the exhaust I had an issue showing me I was choking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv0Mmqwz0lw

Al, 6lbs of boost is 6lbs of boost. On gauge yes, performance no. Air expands as its temp goes up. What might only be 4 psi (theoretical) can easily become 6 psi or more on the gauge do to intake charge temp. Boost at low intake temps means denser air, thus more power at the same gauge reading. And yes E85 for street or even mild race boosted motors is the ticket. Doug

And yes E85 for street or even mild race boosted motors is the ticket. Doug Exactly. 6 psi at 220*F air temp is much less desirable than 6 psi @ 120*F air temp. You have to run less timing if you're octane limited the warmer the intake charge is, and even without that the colder air @ 6 psi is denser so it would make more power regardless. Also worth mentioning, the comparison of your roots blower car to your son's car brings up another good point. Even with the same engine, same intake temp and same boost, the turbo car is going to make more power because a roots blower takes significant horsepower to turn. a 700 hp roots blown motor is making more like 850 hp at the pistons, but loses 150 of it to spin the blower over. The turbo engine will lose power from reduced VE but it's not as significant as the mechanical effort to drive a blower. For timing you may want to ramp it in less aggressively. Cylinder pressures are higher along with the detonation risk at peak torque and below, especially on a supercharged application.

Have you thought of trying a different set of carbs? Sure have,but if were to make that expenditure again I would spend the 3 times that for EFI.I am determined to get these SV1s to work Anyone have a screen shot of a blown on gas data recording?Do all carbs N/A or blown have a lean spike at the hit?What are the highs and lows of your AFR during a run??

E Rich is going to hurt parts.
What's the wide band say?
Where's the timing at. Looks like it's hi and the hole is fat. That hurts more stuff then lean and no timing. What he said. Rich is not safe. Pistons burned to the ringland always happen closest to the intake valve. Rich and advanced cause exactly what you see there. Back off the timing significantly, lean it out slightly, and read plugs to sneak up on it. When the plugs look good back the timing down 1 or 2 degrees for a margin of safety. It will cost you some power... but the durability is worth it in my eyes.

Thought rich was safer than lean...... Am hoping for better results at the track with open exhuast,I think the underdrive street mode is poor due to large carbs and low velocity.Might have to mix 112 with pump and overdrive it some and see what happens. Trying my hardest for both street & track crisp performance.
