Island Map??

I still don't understand how folks make sense of those maps.

its easy, the closer to the "eye of the storm" the better it will be for your combo. by doing the math for a given engine you'll get the info for a given rpm and make a plot, after say 4 plots (or every 1000 rpm) you'll see if you get to far out of the eye. then find another map (different pulleys/blower, turbo etc)
