If you don't understand that, go back to science class. Not trying to be harsh, just saying that psi is a measurement of pressure, not airflow.

100psi of air/boost would be one big intake restriction (i.e. feeding your manifold via a stirring straw) or a diesel turbine for a submarine.



I never learned about "boost" in science class. I heard that word and assumed he was speaking of conventional methods of boost, ie: Turbo or Supercharge. Hence the cap off that would keep the greater 100 PSI pressure flowing into the cylinders.
