"Pump more air in". But for Corvairs, this means cooling air as they are
cooling limited FIRST! To improve cooling, the cylinders and heads need to
be more expensively redone with finning more like an aircraft engine. As
they are, they are economically cooled and run just fine that way but will
never deliver300 hp in a 24 hour roadrace.
