Re: 283 heads on 350

I still remember from a college thermodynamics course (40 years ago) that in an ideal engine, efficiency is a direct ratio of compression. This seems to say that MPG would go up with compression ratio increase. It would be interesting to hear real world feedback from you grizzly old guys whether this actually happens.
