In this video, we explore the compression ratio of your engine, covering its definition and significance, as well as how it impacts engine performance and efficiency. We discuss practical aspects ...

Assuming a properly tuned engine, there are three factors that contribute to poor streetability: long cam duration, high compression ratios, and excessive cruise rpm. Since cam selection is largely ...

When comparing engine specs for nearly any combustion engine automobile, we see a number of variations available with differing outputs of horsepower and torque. We often have a choice of gasoline or ...

If there's one question that's forever on the lips of car enthusiasts, it's how much horsepower an engine makes. Answering that question is deceptively complicated, however, because of what the term ...

Increasing an engine’s compression ratio is a proven way of unlocking extra horsepower, but there’s a point of diminishing returns. The team at Garage 54, the Russian mechanics who built a V16 using ...

We all know the age-old maxim, "There's no replacement for displacement." It's the truth. That's why so many sanctioning bodies use displacement and compression rules to limit engine power. Of course, ...
