Motors above 10.5 to 1 compression made more HP than torque shruggy


That is just because they didn't have a big enough cam in them. A pump gas engine can be set up to make top end power with the correct cam, intake and carb. About the only people who build engines like that are NHRA stock or super stock guys since most people would just add compression to make more power.
