Since your running this on the street will you run methanol injection or is your compression low enough? I have been debating on using a intercooler and a meth system but unsure if I really need a IC at 10psi.

My CR is right at 9:1. The CV-1 heads have a very efficient combustion chamber. I have no plans to run more than 10# of boost with the street setup and pump premium. I am planning on using a BELL intercooler, and have already done some preliminary measuring to see what I have room for. If I have any issues (and I dont think I will) I will mix 107 octane unleaded drum gas with pump premium until the issue is solved.
I know of engines almost 50 ci smaller than mine with similar cylinder head flow and solid roller cam specs that made very close to 1000 flywheel HP on just 8# of boost from a centrifugal supercharger. The big motor with moderate boost will make a ton of power and be very streetable.
