Gowan, I just finished reviewing my texts for a reality check of the boost you suggested and there it was in CRANE(Cams)/Turbocharger Manual:A Complete Guide to Turbocharging Installation -1974 printing.
11.3:1 compression ratio, 10PSI boost - very interesting. I can enjoy the instant throttle response of high static C.R. and still apply more than a touch of boost at the high revs.
I'll need to design a rocketing corncob logo to paste on the fuel filler.
