  • Nitrous and high compression

    I am starting a build on my 3.4L and have a couple questions. I know that in the future i will want to run nitrous probably a 100 shot. Knowing this i am not sure about what compression i should run. I know i would like to be at 11:1 but i am unsure if that is safe to use with nitrous.

    How are you attaining this rise in compression?

    It seems like this is a killer setup which would make extreme cylinder pressures if nitrous was used. If you do plan to go through with it, make sure you have the bolts to back everything up. Plan to use arp studs/bolts throughout, and make sure bearing clearances are optimal for oiling, and it should hold up.

    I know for sure you want a really good set of rings on that puppy. Napier or moly rings

      Ben at wot-tech said he can make me a cam for that kind of compression. I am using all ARP throughout and will be using napier piston rings along with forged pistons and rods and of course all the supporting mods including new and bigger cam bearings

        Which 3.4L are you talking about? I have a feeling this post isn't supposed to be in the DOHC section..
