I would appreciate some serious dialog on this subject.

given that 10:1 is about the limit for pump gas. How does a blower allow a 9:1 motor to have 6-8 psi boost without detonation? Is the max compression psi the detonation limiting factor? If so, then I don't understand how blowers help?

I would like to get a technical blower thread going. Can I put a "little " blower on my 10:1 or do I need to build a new motor?

The ease of bolting on an additional 100 hp is interesting; but somehow I think there must be a catch-no free lunches normally apply
