[Land-speed] Cooling an 8-71

[Dave Dahlgren]

How much boost as that will decribe what the charge air temp is and how much 
fuel you need to get it cold enough to be ok. I was always under the 
impression the port nozzles were for triming cylinders rather than supplying 
the majority of fuel. If it was me I would be thinking 75 to 80% on top  and 
trim with the port nozzles.
