Well,

I do believe he didn't start with 24PSI, but he did start with an engine that has seen boost already.

So, likely, that engine has a lower starting compression ratio than our Duratec.

Those two things make it easier to add boost. I'm sure with enough cubic dollars, one could make the Duratec take more boost than Chris is planning (and I believe he is going for ~8psi, the Vortech is ~5-6 psi boost)

But, it will take time.

FWIW,

TB
