alright, but the bore and stroke are the same, lol pardon my stubborness but im young and dumb haha, so couldnt i use viper pistons and rods to up the compression?
No ,the pistons are not the same .Bore might be same but piston are NOT interchangeable ,and the journals on crank are different ,,plus it would be cheaper to just pull heads and shave them down to get compression up,or buy higher compression pitons for the magnum Iron 10,,If you could just use viper pistons they would not be as tough as the magnum pistons are ,,plus the iron 10 magnum pistons are half the price of the ones for a viper engine ,,you need to keep the K.I.S.S. theory
If you want more power out of it :
#1 pull heads and mill them down to get compression up to 9.5 to 1 or 10 to 1
#2 port them heads
#3 there are a couple outfits that will port your T.B. (fastman i think on dodge talk will do one for you)
#4 headers without cats
#5 gasket match Intake manifold
#6 k/n drop in ,dont get the whole k/n cai ,it is useless
#7 when all this is done slap a 75 shot on that pig
These are the best bang for the buck you can get for an Iron v10

yeah but i think imma like it here
haha and ironhead, instead of the 75 shot of goofy juice, you said people were throwin superchargers at the 8.0, centerfugal or twin screw?? and what injectors would i need to keep up with the charger?
i think procharger or paxton makes a kit... someone on here was damn near giving their truck away with a v10 and s/c...
i'm not aware of a lyscholm type s/c for that application...

i didnt figure there was but i figured i'd ask and make sure. but would the stock injectors flow enough to support the centirfugal? i understand the basic idea behind it and i like it alot. i just wonder if it would make the engine run too lean with the stock injectors.
No the stock one will not work ,you would have to go to a 65lbs set and upgrade the fuel pump in tank ,the paxton kit they are talking about came with bigger injectors ,but fuel pump you will have to do on your own ,no biggy though
