Vortech S/Charger guys--advice please!
 
I recently built a 89 coupe with a N/A 306. Combo is the following:
Pro-M 77mm
70mm T.Body
Edelbrock RPM manifold
Trick Flows heads
Eagle rods
stock crank
long tube hedders etc... Well the question is about my pistons. I have 10:1 trick flow pistons. My car ran a best so far of 12.33 @110mph. It recently slowed down to 12.50s. Havent found the problem yet. But I would like the car to run 11.50s. What supercharger would I need to run these numbers and would I need to lower my compression? I know I COULD run the A-trim for sure with these pistons, but I don't know if it would be enough to run 11.50. Any help by experience would be appreciated. Scott

5.0 Man I don't think you will have a problem with the comprssion and S-Trim. I run same compression on my Notch with 347, only difference is I'm running a Pro Charger with a 3 row Inner cooler, and you can get the mondo from Vortech if you do need it. I was going the Vortech way my self but went with the Pro Charger only because of Product support in my area was better. I am totally happy with mine and NO problems so far with about 10k on it. Your # should be easily reached, and better if tuned properly.
