Doc,
You wrote: "if you can keep the cylinders filled"....
Right there you came very close to answering your own question. ;o)
Think about this. A current Formula-One V-8, NATURALLY ASPIRATED, turns
19,000 RPM. That means each cylinder needs to be 'completely filled' 158-TIMES
PER SECOND!
Can you immagine a beer-bottle-filling-machine at a brewery trying to fill 158
beer bottles per second?
At some point, it just can't be done..........and efficiency drops off. ;o)

Can you say, "Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow" 158 times per second? ;o)
