If your blower has an exhaust velocity of 200 MPH the maximum pressure

Sounds like a good swag. How does lbs/sq.-in relate to inches of mercury
(as in manifold pressure)?

With all this talk of using a gas powered blower would someone please explain
how that blower is going to overcome the effects of altitude and maintain the
same velocity of air. It is going to drop off in power just as the engine will
and at altitude its effect will be nil.
