Thats a good point Pat, I know exactly what your talking about, not "lame" in my book, part of the "feel" that enhances the whole experience.

C.R. is also a factor. There is noticable difference between my old motor, 12.5 to 1 C.R. and my new motor at 9.6 to 1. Both with the same flywheel in my case (heavy Hays).
