One example:

From HO Racing book a graph showing the CR change percentage:

LOL! How can we assume stuff when the graph only goes to 13 to 1?
Not very easy is it John. Same deal for percentage changes with 16 to 1 engines and 930 hp engines.
Bet Craig would have killed for a 930 HP engine when he and Kern wrote the book. So then you have to
go with real data like single cylinder engine testing where a full sweep of the engine's compression ratios
is done and the power levels documented.

It was a basic Generic question and we gave generic answers, so how about we call this one a TIE?
So what data did you base your calculator program on? Smith, Vizard, Speed Talk?

Tom, ask Craig maybe?

Really if you knew anything about it, you would know that basically anything more than 13:1 CR the advantage to gaining HP is vastly dropping.

LOOK at the curve!

It's starts going straight up almost at 13:1, continue the graph and the percentage is practically nil.
(from 13 on up)

Ask any of the big guys, I didn't decide this.

Just admit you are wrong.

It would be nice to know cam spec also to compare to to other builds.I just dynoed my 541 and it makes over 900 on pump gas with around a 700 lift cam.And its not a happy dyno my buddy dyned there went to the track and showed 15-20 horse more.
