Good question, and I have no answer. This thread is gonna turn into a mind boggling, heavy discussion, I hope. I have been trying to get answers to questions for some time in numerous forums here and there but the answer is steeped in mystery...
Other variables are intake valve closure timing which can alter compression ratio, it is a dark science involving intake tract reversion and more.
See why I'm into the adjustable cam sprocket? Playing with valve timing is huge. And to do it right you need a few camshafts to experiment with, every grind is different.
Understanding all this is the key to moving from "glad to finish the season fifth in points" to "First place season points", leather jacket and all.
You know what I do with my Internet time...
