I sand bagged you.
No one limited the discusion to gasoline.
Or to what boost conditions we were talking.
A diesel at 60 PSI is quite a different animal.
But, the range is still rather large, ie you can use fuel as a cooling
agent, and then run seemingly overly rich, and still make power.   Using a
well designed Intercooler would tend to min the need for that.

What I've done is way over design my system, in some areas.  ie, other then
the Intercooler I could probably support in the neighbor hood of 600 HP.
But I run alot less then that, and have lots of room for trying various
ideas.  I also, have some ability to move sensors around to see what is
going on.  Then with some datalogging can try and make sense to what is
actually happening
