seems to be only used on full tilt motors. ie massive boost and high rpm. ie said motors arnt required to have "as much" torque down low (ie big turbos) so the lower comp whatever it may be, is not at the front of the line in the engines purpose.
hope that sheds some light. ie: street. no pad removal,street/race, exhaust removed, full race, both removed.
would be a nice trick on a rb30 using 25 pistons and asociated block decking having a full tilt head still with 9 or so comp.
