    Compression ratio and balance factor

    I have an old Harley, recently i upgraded the cam to a performance cam with extra lift and duration. I increased the compression to get the static compression back up to where it needed to be to get good low rpm performance (170psi). Apart from the cam change, the only other change was to the...
