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??? |

I would aim for 20 to 25:1 A/F.

Nope 1 to 2 psi with the size engine you have won't work. You would have to extremely lean, above 40:1. Now this is based on the 4 to 6 hp needed.

Sorry but its the truth. To make your engine cylinder deactivation would take a crazy amount of change.
Keep in mind the engine is just a air pump. So when you increase your air flow
you can only do so much with lean burn and higher IAT to keep from having to add extra fuel. This becomes even more of a issue because now you want a low HP output from the cars aero improvement.
