Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.

of course, you could always go for the biggest normally aspirated 4.9L ever! hehehe... if you shave the heads .050, and use Northstar pistons ( use the stock sleeves, just have them bored .040 ), you'll get in the neghborhood somewhere of 11.5 to 12:1 compression.. of course, pump gas is useless at this compression unless you use a different ECM entirely, one with a knock sensor of course..have a custom built valvetrain, and a very high lift cam...
