Default RE: Raising compression for zero nitro

You could do the same thing using a little algebra if you knew the comp ratio of the engine in question. I suspect using 9 to 1 as stated above would be close enough to start with.

area of bore x stroke + Y = comp ratio x Y where Y is the volume of the head + volume of the bore above the piston at tdc.
