Changes I would like to see

Just wanted to say that i am loving the Engine Designer at the moment. A few things that i noticed was that the turbo wheel sizes are limited depending on block size which is cramping my limits (as is the max exhaust size :P). Also does altering the compression have no effect on the spooling characteristics of the turbo? I don't think it does. Lastly, i was wondering what the likelihood of having a bottom end size adjustment (for inertia vs strength). Just throwing this out there to see what others think and sorry if this has already been mentioned.

Oh and lastly Valve size adjustments :P

One too many negatives here for me to be sure of what you're asking.

In any case, a high compression engine won't spool a turbo any faster. Turbos spool based on exhaust energy, so in theory a high comp engine should be even slower to spool a given turbo than a lower comp engine (high comp = lower egts), but in practice (the real world) there really isn't much difference.

This is wrapped up in Bore adjustment, since bore size (and number of valves) is what limits valve area.

For me it would be more forced injection options but I know thats coming....but I would want to see a finer control on the Dyno test when you do it manually thats what I would like to see...okay thats gonna take a heck of a lot of coding but it could be done...I am not sure if its practical or not?
