Been contemplating this idea but I'm sure there's a reason I haven't seen it done:
Any thoughts about going a tad high with compression ratio, but then limiting manifold pressure accordingly- say for example mid 20's.
Would that give "full" power availability to a higher altitude or are there other considerations involved? cooling, efficiency, etc...
This makes me think of turboprop flying in the sense that you may need to watch the guages as you push the throttle forward at high power settings, but other than this workload item(unless an electronic throttle limiter is added), can this combo partially emulate normalization?
There is no such thing as a free lunch comes to mind...
