Message than high compression + NOS.

peak cylinder pressure is way higher with high compression + NOS. Average cylinder pressure is greater, but peak is less with lower compression + boost.

Cylinder pressure vs. crankshaft postion(degrees before/after TDC)
would look like a V8 torque curve for a turbo engine. i.e. a broad but lower peaking graph.

The graph for a high compression NA (cylinder pressure again)
would look more like a high HP turbo torque curve, large peak but no very broad, even though both could have the same average pressure or "area under the curve", giving similar HP #s.

Later,
Chip
