boost mods

[Ben Swann]

Taka does have a good point.  There is the limit to the CIS, which is why I
added an injector and should be sufficient.

I have made trial and error runs which confirms the limits to be in the
18-20 PSI on a good cool day, and a safe setting for all operational
conditions to be around 15 PSI.

This does however indicate that water injection may do quite well.  I have
read the same, in fact a statement to the effect that adding water properly
can be even more effective than fuel.  Forget where offhand though.

I'd sure be interested to know of some results of adding a sytem in one of
these cars.
