So lets look at things a bit differently. Power (HP) is a calculation of torque X RPM / 5252. As I understand it higher compression ratios move the torque curve up on the RPM scale, not necessarily making more torque but more HP just by calculation. The VQ37 engine already makes it's peak power @ 7000 rpm.

So how fast do you want to spin this engine??? I come from the old school so 7k seems like a lot to me already. Can these engines handle 7k or 8k regularly?
