I believe that if you really BOOST the charge much other that just a little. you will have problems with crank whip, and severe tagential crankshaft harmonics.(which is already it's biggest fault) Remember that real long rod engines wwith few main bearings have never benn good designs to push. I'm not saying that you cannot boost this engine, I just believe that it will not live very long under much boost or at extended rpm's.
