What would you build if limited to 372ci - with boost as an option

Ok thanks for the clarification. I was picturing less advance timing so combustion would be after TDC and direct push down. Less cylinder pressure than a high compression NA engine. Maybe I was wrong, or just using the wrong words. Likely both.
It’s just normal for people to phrase it the way you did. The “push down” ends up happening at the same time. If that makes sense now.
