Hi QNim,

If your definition of "over square" is an MAP in inches of mercury which is higher than RPM * 100, then I have never seen an engine, naturaly aspirated or supercharged, that could not be run "over square" according to the manufacters specs.

If the convention for MAP had been hectopascals instead of inches, this myth would never have been perpetuated.
