Yeah, that's what I'm wondering too- 30 year old cutting-edge tech vs. modern day should be interesting.
The challenge isn't getting fuel and air into the combustion chamber - it's getting it to burn rather than exploding/detonating, which is the exact same challenge that faces a turbo charged road engine.
In road car design you just go richer and richer to stave off det, whilst trying to get the charge mixture as cool as possible- water injection etc.
