The cylinder is the same, you have a 550cc volume of fuel, if we squeeze this volume into a smaller combustion space, the expansion pressure is increased, so the torque is higher.
The torque does not increase as the rpm increases, the resultant torque remains the same.

Hi Harvey,
I accept most of what you say, except I think most people believe that there is some increase in cylinder fill as a result of the higher cylinder pressure.

Do you think there is a higher fill level from higher compression?
