Default Re: Limits of stock LT5 with boost?

Now we have resolved the cam quantity.
A conservative turbo system nets roughly 3-4% power increase over base engine power level per pound of boost. So Jerrys performance estimate is pretty close. The main drawback with turbocharging an engine with 11- 11.25:1 compression ratio is knock limit of the fuel .
