Im thinkin about buyin redGt's nitro kit, the 347 kit I posted a few days ago is 10 to 1 compression.

I dunno if nitro is the same as boost but is the CR too high? planning on TW 60cc heads

Nitrous is fine with high comp. given adequate fuel and timing.

You'll be golden. Hell, I say bump the compression up some more, but adequate fuel is your friend. Have you ever tuned a nitrous combo before?
