fluttering and I do not get more power.

No bug Peter...
The Championship cars are limited to a certain level of boost. The upper
limit of boost is controlled by a pop-off valve that opens when max boost is
exceeded. This then forces the engine to run crappy, loose power and get
back inside the tolerances. It is a very delicate dance to find the right
level of boost to match your gearing. At the track that was formerly known
as Indy, (now known as mud) many a star saw thier qualifying efforts crumble
when they pushed just a little too hard and opened the pop-off valve..
have a good one.

I imagine the fluttering sound is the pop off valve blowing off extra
pressure that goes beyond the CART max (40???).
I can't imagine 5 being the max, but I haven't figured out how to go beyond
it either.
