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,

Matt-

I find that hard to believe as well. If this was the case Mazda
would have used a supercharger years ago. Superchargers
suck HP. ANY compressor sucks HP. That comes right out of
the BSFC. You cannot compress air without expending HP.
