   A buddy just sent me this.  The BSFC numbers impressed me,
   especially for a supercharged engine..  200hp at 5700RPM on
   BSFC=0.46.  The chart shows it as a 6 port 13b.  I wonder how good a
   p-port turbocompound engine could do...


   Regards,

One thing I just noticed was the A/F numbers...  If I am interpreting
this correctly, they are quite rich - makes sense for a dyno run.  But,
that seems contradictory to the BSFC numbers..  Hmm.  I wonder if
something isn't calibrated here.  Maybe I got excited over nothing.

Matt-

Exactly. OR more likely hanky panky. 12.8 is max power.
14.7 is stoichiometric. Best BSFC is up around 16 to 20.
