I thought I had explained it reasonabley well, the point I was trying to make is that if you have to retard the ignition too far from the optimum you will lose power. If this out weighs the power gained from increasing the CR then the 'balance' of the engine is wrong. If you are able to get away with not having to retard the ignition and can run massive CR more power to you (quite literally!).
Obviously this assumes the same boost levels, fueling etc. which can all be adjusted, hence my comment about iterative loops to find the optimum set up.
Don't get me wrong I like innovation and I'm all for trying new things, I hope you're very succesful with your build and look forward to seeing results. I guess my comment was partially down to my mind set of building street orientated cars based on using UK pump gas.
