It's always a good idea to have low compression for a blower motor, but not
completely necessary if you have some other method to control detonation. A
modern knock sensor and computer would do nicely, so will water injection.

Subject: Re: [FOT] Looking for TR6 Dyno Pull info
Amici:
In the 1980s I put a Judson blower on a gorgeous street TR3A and proceeded
proudly to the North American Triumph Challenge in Illinois. I should have
painted it GOLD and put it on a trophy shelf instead, because I broke the
crank reving the engine in line for the autocross. I was not reving that
hard, either. Judson used to put a caveat in their instructions warning you
to only use it on a 'stock' engine. Are there no concerns about putting a
blower on a GT6 engine, and especially a prepared engine? Has someone
proved that works?

PS...at that early NATC they did award the car a 'hard luck' trophy...a nice
pewter cup. I still use it for coffee now and again. I think Charles
Runyan
(TRF) provided them. They were nice.
