Hello B20Paul,

Although I don’t disagree with your contention that you can’t have too much power, there is usually a limit to what one can spend. I’m trying to help my son find the sweet spot between acceptable performance and affordability. Plus it is instructive to go through the process

Thank you for the offer to help. We have decided to concentrate on a normally aspirated B20 as the stage 1 project. I have done a fair amount of data collection on brickboard (much of it posted by you) and other places, which my son and I intend to massage into a design. At that point I think it would be a good idea to post it on this site and ask for comments. That way we get to do some learning and you guys out there get to do the grading. :-)

Cheers,
