compression is important, no doubt. That said it certainly isn’t a deal breaker.
Going from 9.9 to 11.5 might be a 4-6% gain due to the extra squeeze. 500 horse motor that’s 20 or 30 horse, not nothing, for sure , but also far from a deal breaker
Could be made up other ways, certainly
Yeah I watched the engine masters episode where they did exactly that. Think it was a 9.7:1 vs 11.2:1 327 chevy stroked to 331. Think it was 20 numbers across the entire graph, just like railroad tracks.
Same time, its not wanting to build a dog of a motor. So trying to match parts for a good combo is my aim.
