Should I be worried about throwing the blower on mine? I'm close to 9.5. Block was decked at .115 piston to deck clearance. 11 cc dished. New stock gaskets and head bolts. I've also bought a 6# lower. Looking at about 14 #s of boost. I am going to get a tune from JJ @ woodbine after taking your suggestion into consideration.
As far as detonation; no problems with a good tune on 9.5 static
I'm running right at 9.3 with compound boost. Built a little bit, but detonation still is detrimental.
As long as you get a good tune and stay around 10-12lbs I don't see any issues. Just get 93 + lol

Wildcat racing in Cecil, Ga. Mike the machinist is an awesome guy. Builds some bad *** drag and circle track motors. I went with Falcon h - beams and sealed power coated skirt hypers. And yes, I run nothing but 93 in it even now LOL. I think I may go ahead and stud the heads when I tear down for the charger. Also a fresh timing set while I'm at it. I'm looking at probably spring before I can get everything together.

and there are a lot of swamps. Really big bogs around here. My 37 ' s are tiny compared to many other trucks in the area.

Damn... I installed my old 4R70 when it was -8 here last year december.
Not really too north, just elevation is about 5K so that doesnt help.
Gets to mid 90's during summer and -15 in january.. Fall is perfect 60-65 during september and early october. Usually starts snowing around halloween
