You could still have pistons made to give a final comp of 11:1 after being flycut. Provided you select reasonable cams, it is unlikely your power curve will be like you have shown. From what I have seen that sort of curve is typical of a turbo engine, generally with a MASSIVE turbo that doesn't come on boost till 1000000000rpm (slight exageration there). NA engines tend to have a less steep curve. For an everyday driver, you are better off staying at say 10:1 to 11:1 and selecting the cams for a strong mid-range torque curve as opposed to aiming for peak HP. It will make the car a lot nicer to drive. It would look silly doing a 5000rpm launch just to beat a stock lancer across the lights because your engine makes little torque down low Depends on where you are wanting the power to whether 40's will be big enough. EFI is definetly a nice option, even just for the 'tuneablility' it offers. [Report message to a moderator]
