the rate of any

Hmm. Reverse flow (architecture) supercharging packs gobs more fuel and air into its engine.

Those whose purpose it is to go fast aren't always the huggy fluffs who insist on good economy. Increasing the rate of any exothermia produces more excitement, hence adding more oxygen and/or fuel per event. PACK/POP.

Or push/pop. Choose wisely.

'pull/bang' is for sissies

thermostat. It may be semantic, but your engine will burn more fuel due its increased supply of O2. There will be more power, and more RPM, and more fuel burned. You will have to rate the engine to keep fuel burn equal to pre boost value, No?
