I asked a similiar question a few weeks ago, but I still wonder about an engine's compression ratio. It's taken me a while, but I almost have all the parts ready for my engine rebuild. I try to learn as much about automobile engines as possible. Now I just learned the 200 hp Acura RSX engine (K20C) made 170 whp with 11.0:1 compression inline four. If I bump my 306's compression ratio to 11.0:1 instead of 9.0:1, how much more power will is see going to the rear wheels?
