Is the main reason for you not fitting blowers on BOSS 302/315 engines because it is absolutely a ticking time bomb in any application? Or, is it because, to safely fit a supercharger to an engine of 10.8 comp, you simply can't extract enough out of it to make it worth it? Why is 10.8 so much more fatal than 10.5 BOSS 290?

In an attempt to answer my own question, I'm guessing that 10.5 is at the limit of safety, but in the long term still wouldn't last near as long as a BOSS 260 at the same boost/setup, whilst the 10.8 is effectively the 'straw that broke the camels back'? I'm very interested in your clarification Chris, and I apologise if you have answered this previously.
