Re: Building sbc for boost

At a minimum you're going to want a good set of pistons/rods. That scat cast crank is very stout and will handle the power level you're looking for....but you know how addicting boost can be----so a forged crank is probably a smart upgrade just in case you end up going nuts on it. I would also run some ARP head studs and MLS head gaskets. There's plenty of other things to think about depending on the boost level and rpm it will see (bearing type & clearances, ring material & gaps etc etc). I'm not very up on blow through carb setups, I'm sure some here have experience with them and will chime in......
