Been studying on it for years. I have heard figures between 50% and 90%
increases in HP. Depends alot on how much boost you have it set for. 9 psi
is the limit for regualr pump gas I'm told. I do not know what base
compression ratio this is working with.

I thought about it in my bus (and may still pursue it in a hundred years
when I've got time) but plan to play with it first in my Type IV powered
Beetle.
