I'm going to guess it's running on meth or E85 and probably values response over power with short run times.

If you design it for methanol and tune it for methanol... until you run out of methanol? Champ cars used to often finish, for example, the Indy 500. ;)

E85 these days, which is more like methanol and less like pump gas or race gas in terms of charge cooling.

They also run surprisingly little boost. The highest is just shy of 10 psi during push to pass. Regular road course is 7.25 psi, short ovals is 5.8, and only 4.35 at superspeedways.

Wow, way lower than I expected. I should probably look those engines up cause now I'm wondering about what RPM and CR, how much power they make, etc.

They also run two turbos. I'm sure if it was one the boost would definitely be higher.

Even in the Champ Car years, it was pretty low. 40 inches of mercury absolute in 1998, which works out to 5psi over atmospheric pressure. In the last few years before CART went to the Cosworth XF-E and then disappeared, boost was down even further.

... also why would boost be higher with a single turbo?

Now wondering what CFM they actually push since pressure isn't really a great gauge for airflow.

CART later years I think was in the 850-950hp range, then got detuned to 750hp (plus whatever for push to pass) in the last years when it went to a spec engine. You can pretty much plug that into whatever CFM / lb-min airflow calculator you want. For reference the new indy cars were either running a pair of EFR6758 or one EFR9180 turbo (custom housings for racing stuff but otherwise pretty normal) and now the spec is 2x EFR7163s. And yea, pretty far towards the bottom part of the compressor map. The old CART turbos were all pretty custom and you're not going to find a compressor map for anything comparable.

http://www.lolachampcar.com/ has some pretty interesting stuff by a guy who was vintage racing.

Friendly reminder they canceled the CART race at Texas because they were pulling too many Gs in the corners.

Honda used a single turbo for the beginning of the DW12 era, while Chevy went with two. Boost levels were the same but Honda had a much larger turbocharger.

Both use twins now.

Well assuming there's no air leaks, you can calculate it from RPM + displacement + boost.

A 2L engine running 10 lbs of boost over atmospheric pressure (14.7psi) at 20 celsius delivers 1L (two cylinders' worth) of air per revolution. The ideal gas law

PV = nRT
P = 1.68 atm
V = 1L
R = 0.082
T = 293 K
n = ?

says that that's 0.069 mol of gas.

If the engine is spinning 5000 RPM, that's 345 mol of air sucked in per minute. At SATP, 345 mol = 8298L...so the intake face of the turbocharger is sucking in 293 cubic feet of air per minute.

Few things assumed here. The engine you describe will not draw a liter. It will always be less as defined by volumetric efficiency which is controlled by a multitude of various head loss sources including the throttle itself. The temperature will vary, depending on the latent heat of vaporization of methanol and adiabatic heating across the turbo.

It's been a while since thermo class, but I think that will throw off numbers a non-negligible amount.

VE can get above 95% at peak torque.

But the thing is that the mass flow rate depends on both the boost pressure and compressor efficiency. If you have, say, one big turbo at 15psi and 75% efficiency, and then two smaller turbos doing the same thing, in theory that should be the same amount of air and the same outlet temperature.
