I guess I am moving on from this platform for the next sports car.


The FA24D will likely not reach a knock limit on pump gas until at or exceeding the power levels of the FA20D. It sounds like you are arguing the opposite, that the FA24D will reach a sub 300hp knock limit because of the higher static compression, as if the FA20D could gain 100hp from 200hp to 300hp, but the FA24D could only gain say 50hp from 223hp to 273hp. Is that what you are trying to say would happen?
