Creamie,
Apologies to John Deakin, I blame it on a late and very cold night after a long day here in Beijing.
As one poster has noted, forced induction does not solve the problem of lousy intake design, a most famous example was the Merlin 1, which was a hopeless engine until the supercharger and associated ducting was redesigned by Edwards, which increased the reliable power output from about 750 HP (each engine varied) to close the initial designed 1100 HP.
Tootle pip!!
