I know of a certain GSX that runs 22 PSI on the street. I know of another
certain GSX that runs 24 PSI and puts down 416HP to an AWD dyno on 93 octane.

But it all depends on compression ratio, intake air temps, etc, etc.

This is monkey math. You cannot calculate effective compression ratio just
from compression and boost. It's just not that simple. (Check the archives,
both Mike and Rob have posted on it.)
