Is there anything out there that says how much boost can be run safely based upon compression ratio? Obviously the stock internals would have to be able to take it -- but say a car had like an 8.5:1 compression ratio -- putting internals aside, is there any way to say like oh it can do 12 psi or 16 psi or whatever before the thing starts to detonate itself to death? Again... dont talk about the internals just yet, im trying to find some information. Anyone that can help I would appreciate it.
Also, I know there is a way to calculate BOOSTED HP off the PSI, but is there a way to then take the NEW HP number and figure out how much torque would be gained? I mean, if I double my HP will my torque also double or how would I go about figuring this out? I mean you guys dont have to give me exact numbers for my application but if you can show me how to do it, and maybe give me an example so I can learn how to do it that would be great! Thanks, hopefully someone can give me some good info!
