" So what you are saying is that the cylinder pressure is higher because 
" you can get more air into the cylinder to compress, correct? I honestly 
" do understand that and it's why turbo and super chargers make more power 
" but you still haven't altered the size of the cylinder so the 
" compression ratio hasn't changed.

-mechanical- c/r.  that's defined the way it is because it's easy to
calc, but as noted true effective c/r is affected by valve timing at
least so this number has limited meaning.

i wish i had a copy of ricardo around.  i'm pretty sure he talks about
this in detail.
