Stock Compression, More Power?
Assuming a motor is not allowed to test compression any higher than 190psi hot, what would be the setup with the most hp? VE with lower compression pistons? (thought I read stock VE's bump ~230 on a compression test).

Obviously flow is what is going to matter the most here considering the compression limitation. Interested to see what the guru's think.

It sounds a little weird but the only thing that comes to my mind is to use some VVL Killer cams, that should lower the compression test a lot...

But i dont know if that kind of cams does even exist...

Essentially bleeding off compression during a compression test because of overlap/duration?

Also, said motor can't cam like a v8... and must sound stockish

Thats the point of a VE though Gault. Livable Idle and Huge cams when they switch over.

Anyway....E85 and more timing.
