Don't know if this is the right forum or not so excuse me if it is in the wrong place.
"The change in horsepower due to the change in compression ratio is relative but not directly proportional."
The way I understand this is that a increase from 8:1 to 9:1 would increase horsepower while something like 13:1 to 14:1 would yield less gains.
8:1 to 9:1 would yield 3% hp gains while 13:1 to 14:1 would yield about 1.5%?
Also for every point in compression you should yield about 8hp?
All the above info was jacked off the internet. Is this stuff true or are their too many variables? Anybody got some reference material that they can refer me to?
Thanks
