He was making 21-22psi @ over 7k DA. That would probably be 25+ at sea level. Hence why the thrust bearing let go.
Normally I wouldn't advise going bigger cubes but in this case it might be the way to go since he was maxing out the Eddie 2650 at his elevation. He really needs a bigger supercharger for that altitude or a bigger motor and less boost. Jm2c...

That is some very solid reasoning that I hadn't taken into account! Now ya got me thinking on the best way to go about something setup for that situation. Maybe a bump in compression to help make the most of what its got, hmm.
