Supercharging vs NA Compression ratios
Permalink  
 


Good Morning Everyone,

I've been reading a lot lately about superchargers. I have a question.... Is compression just plain compression and doesn't matter how it got there?.

Does a bottom end know in which way the compression was achieved?

For example if you have a blown motor with a static compression of 7.5:1 and with boost have an effective compression of 9.8:1 and you have an NA motor that's 9.8:1 can the bottom end tell the difference between the two?

A blown motor is only 9.8:1 at peak horse power and less compression with less rpm - the NA motor is always 9.8:1 - is the NA motor harder on the bottom end overall especially street driven?

thanks,

lol.. no not likely. although a friend has a graham supercharger that would be cool to put on there.... I do have a 471 blower. it'll go on a sbc... but just wanna do some learning in the meantime... not happening anytime soon.
