Probe has a deal going on right now if you buy a stroker kit from them you get the balance for free, but I am going to have the new machine shop do a blueprint and balance job to make sure everything will hold together with no vibration, what is a good harmonic balancer to get? he is going to balance the kit with the harmonic balancer, flywheel, and clutch assymbly.

If you have money to burn, get an ATI, Innovators West, Fluidamper, etc..

On a budget, I like the Romac Balancers. I got my Romac from AD Performance but I think you can get it through CHP/Probe as well.

Yea I was looking at the ATI, and the Romac just havn't made up my mind. is 9 to 1 a good compression ratio for a turbo car?

SlowJoe · 06-25-2010, 01:06 PM

U have to thank is it 9 to1 with piston at 0 deck? How deep is ur piston going to be at tdc? 9 to 1 will work good but u will need to stay on top of the tune. As i have been told. What cc dish are they?

yeah, have to measure how far down in the hole they are at tdc and then you can always run a thicker cometic head gasket to drop it down a bit more. Intercooled turbos are easier on parts, but they are still hotter than an intercooled centri blower.

I would keep a .045 quanch pad.

9:1 is about perfect. I am around 8.5:1 and wish I had gone a little more due to the smallish cubes.

With today's better cylinder heads and turbo-cams, I would not hesitate to run 10:1 and shoot a little methanol if I had to run a little more boost to make the power.

Really? I would think you'd have to pull so much timing out that it would leave a lot on the table? What about using E85 with that compression ratio?

The lowest compression pistons probe industries has are 9 to 1 and they will have to cut a valve relief in them for the trick flow heads. I really want to be able to run pump gas mixed with a little race gas. Looking to make at least 650rwhp.

Well I am a probe dealer and all their pistons come either TFS or inline valve config, or they come with both if they are an older set. Why do they have to cut valve reliefs? Did they get the wrong kit or just out of the pistons? If I can help out in any way let me know. If you had a larger combustion chamer you could knock it down some, but as matt said, don't think it's an issue anyway.
