Gwynne Spencer on the relationship
between torque and compression ratio:
The improvement in torque should be about equvalent to the improvement in
BMEP which is the ratio of new CR divided by old CR - result taken to the
0.4 power
Example - if you had 10:1 and now have 10.1:1 (10.1/10.0) to 0.4 power
is 1.00398
OR 100 ft lb -> to 100.398.
A lot of people think that raising CR is MUCH more effective than it actually
is.
