I had asked this question earlier as well (http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/techni...tml#post346538 (My Grooved Esteem FE is 14.5 Kmpl)) but didn't receive your answer.

I understand that there has been a tremendous increase in the bottom end of the power / torque band. I'd like to know the difference to the top end of the engine after grooving.
1. Does the RPM it rise faster / the same / slower than before?
2. Has the max RPM possble increased / decreased?
Hi elf,

Thanks....

Its evident that we feel good amount of increase at low end.....but as far as my experience goes riding grooved cars I can say that there is increase in top end too....

RPM rise is faster then before......we feel quick acceleration.....

About max poosible RPM I cant comment as not checked........but there is feeling that it increased.....

I understand that we expect similer rise at top end too but with my stock tyre & suspension I m hesitant to test it.....

Hi Mpower,

I expect at least 10% increase in compression ratio....stock compression ratio not known.....if stock is 9:1 then with 0.8 mm removal its nearly 10:1......but I couldnt found stock data........

Enjoy....
