I believe the data you want is in "The Design & Tuning of Competition Engines"
by Smith and
the SAE book "Design of Racing & High Performance Engines".
I am not where I can access my books at the moment but if I get a chance to
check into these
in the next few days I'll post some data if it's in these. I seem to recall it
is.
