I ran several simulations using Allan Lockheed's Engine Expert and I think that a tall-deck build using a 303 crank would make for a killer high-boost turbo combination. The long rods would keep piston speed in a very reasonable range at high rpm. The only drawback might be the amount of time the piston is at TDC. It might increase the opportunity for detonation if fuel quality is low and charge-air temperature was not kept under 100 degrees.
