Kirk Hammersmith of Lancair states that use of high boost at 10k feet will
"snuff out the engine."  Is that really so?  I would think that is should
not do so, as one of the remedies for an inflight engine pump failure is to
flick on high boost.  I have turned on high boost while doing my recurrency
training at lower altitude (2k) to see its effect on the engine normal
operation, and noted no perceptible change.
