how much boost?

I have a forged 383 with 11.5 to 1 comp. ratio. If I went with an intercooled procharger kit, how much boost could I run with my pistons?

Change the heads, then run as much as you want

Kraest is right..boosting 11.5:1 wont land you the #'s you might be looking for...3-4 lbs woudnt be worth your time or money. Get that CR down to a safe level or stick with the bottle

Agree with above posts. Supercharging is expensive, and a waste of money IMO if all you can run is low amounts of boost.

Change the CR, and let the good times roll.
