<VV> Max Cylinder Pressure

[FrankCB at aol.com]

Chuck,
    The GM Stock Engine Test for the 1963 Turbo 145 cu.in. engine shows 423 
psi at 3600 rpm.  The 1965 140 engine test shows 289 psi at 4200 & 4400 rpm.  
The 1964 110hp engine test shows 272 psi at 3000 rpm.  These are the maximum 
values (but averaging all cylinders) for these engines.  These tests are 
available from Clark and probably other Corvair vendors.  They have a wealth of 
detail, but unfortunately don't cover ALL the Corvair engines.  Particularly 
missing is the LM 180 hp turbo engine.

What is the maximum cylinder pressure in a Corvair cylinder head, either 
normally aspirated or at some specified boost?  Has anyone seen 
article/numbers?

Thanks,
