I'm thinking of topics like:
-Static vs. Dynamic compression on the impacts on engine power.
-Horsepower/TQ efficiency to cubic inch
-Deck height for forced induction vs NA applications
Things like this that are debateable topics, yet go into the detailed sciences of performance impacts.

a couple years ago, we used to have threads like this where those involved would seriously ponder the topic at hand before responding. tho a lot of them werent directly correspondent to the camaro, (ie 6 stroke engines and steam power, etc), but they did offer intuitive looks into the other aspects of making power.
there are a good handful of people (myself included) that would be more than interested in such topics that you brought up. however (and this should not be seen as a deterrent), part of the reason we have not had a lot of those recently is due to the production of the car finally starting and subsequently, everyone spending time driving their cars and wanting to do amateur/bolt-on mods. another reason is that our forum population is largely made of members that don't/won't ever deal with those types of issues. and thus they are not brought forward to discuss.
I love a good technical discussion over the normal "hey, I just got my car" threads.
By all means, feel free to start a thread up in the engine section. The main reason we dont have a specific section for these types of threads is due to the lack of these types of threads and meaningful contributors.
