somebody smart correct me if i'm wrong, but the way i understand compression is that the cylinder still moves the same volume of air at 11:1 as it does at 9:1 (because the crank & rod length is still the same) - it's just that the higher compression squeezes said volume into a smaller space, which creates more heat & explosive force, resulting in a higher potential for knock but yielding more power.
as for the flyby, i was supposed to go pretty close to my house but we got vectored direct from WV to TX, so we never went that far south. i hear we might be going down to Eglin soon... there's a little potential for ya there
