I was wondering if you could refer me to any documentation on naturally
aspirated diesels being superior high performers? I have heard
conflicting data about this and would be interested in getting better
information.

"PACKARD MOTOR CORP BOUGHT A DETROITER AND INSTALLED THEIR "NEW" DIESEL
RADIAL AIRCRAFT ENGINE FOR FLIGHT TESTING. ALTHOUGH IT PERFORMED REASONABLY
WELL AT LOWER ALTITUDES, IT DID NOT DO WELL AT HIGHER ALTITUDES, AND WAS
EVENTUALLY ABANDONED."
