Of course you cant ask a book a question
Right, so if P X L X A X N = Power, then as stated, it logically means that if any of the above variables are reduced, then power will be reduced.
As such, we need to compensate for that loss in order to return to where we are. Interestingly, the rest of the items on this calculation appear to be difficult to modify (eg area of piston, length of stroke) and to increase the number of strokes simply means more rpm for the same given power level (?)
I think that we established that the cam timing can be altered to improve the off boost performance. Forgive my dullness, but which part of the equation is the cam timing affecting?
