are you basing engine size around a given form of FI? That's not the same question now is it?

The 370 of course, because you putting more air though it. 15psi of boost is only a measurement of restriction, not the amount of air being flowed by the motor. The point Stock48 was tying to make is to make the same power with a 347 as a 370, the turbo will have to make about 3 lbs or so MORE boost to make up the different in the amount of air the engine needs to consume to make X-power. In running the higher boost, say, 18psi on the 347 vs 15psi on a 370, may put the turbo in a better efficiency range then it is at 15 psi. Here is a general compressor map for a T76 to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about. See how as the pressure goes up, the turbo get more efficient for the amount of air its pumping?
