Re: High RPM to reduce knocking
at higher rpm's the pistons are traveling faster, this sucks in air at a faster rate, when the piston hits the bottom, the air has momentum and keeps moving and gets compressed a bit, this is because the valve doesn't close right when it hits the bottom. at higher rpms, more air gets stuffed into the cylender so there's more cylender pressure and thus more tendency to knock.
