Jamie,

Much of it boils down to cylinder pressure and flame propagation. Yes, CR, cams, piston shape, combustion chamber configuration, resonant air/fuel flow, and much more have a lot of influence.

If you look at the curves for street cars, there are a lot of other considerations. Drivability, economy, and emissions come to mind.

Best,
Grady
