That's OK because aircraft engines can't be highly stressed anyway. Heh, turbo it to compensate for poor breathing then raise the CR to get some combustion efficiency back; that helps with altitude power loss anyway.

P.S. A direct drive aircraft engine doesn't need to breathe deeply anyway as it will be a low rpm unit.
