Without the 80% fact this is the formula used by Corky Bell in his book 
Maximum Boost.  I am sure it can be found plenty of other places.  This 
however is based on a rail pressure of 36 psi.  The 80% factor you are 
quoting I would think might be a concern in a boat or road race car.  
Any other use you are never at that high a percentage of your maximum 
power for more than a fraction of a minute at a time.  I also think this 
formula is a little too conservative.  Like Alan said if you apply it to 
the cars it came from it does not work out.

Just my 2¢
