The book I have maybe an older version (about 10 years old) but you were
right on
B.E.H about the mixture degrees 400-440F and in this book Smokey used a
2.5L 
4-cylinder got 50 MPG  250HP and 230 ft.lb torque. It was turboed with 15
psi boost
but the reason he said was to use it as a one way valve so the mixture
wouldn't push
back through the carb.

Steve if you want a copy of this ( 3 pages ) I could scan it in the next
few days
you post your circuit described below:

Steve if this is an unreasonable ask because you may have spend many
valuable
hours getting it togeather then feel free to tell me where to go jump.

this guy tells about a DC electric motor turning a generator
that puts out more than it consumes so charges the battery
it runs off.
