Exciting news to hear!

Now would 35:1 AFRs still be possible, or should I aim for 20-25:1 since I won't haz boost at lower rpm?

If I were to use a turbo that made say 1-2 psi between 1400-2000 rpm and was wastegated at 5 psi max for the mid and upper rpm ranges, what would the possibilities be then? Would my drive (line?) pressure be too high above a certain rpm?

I was told that cylinder deactivation would not work on my car due to me not having a way to stop the intake valves from opening and closing, and it would hurt my BSFC is this truth???
