Re: Strokers
[quote=kevinthenerd]A long stroke results in a higher mean piston speed. If you're racing and you're limited to displacement, a big bore with a short stroke will win every time. This will give you more rpms for a given piston speed. The mean piston speed (2*L*N) is the main thing that affects things like motor longevity and cam setup. (Look up the Jones equations.)[\quote]
exactly
just look at the chevy 302
4 inch bore
3 inch stroke
biggest bore of any sbc (excepting the 400, which is not a true sbc. i know i'll get flamed for saying this, but its true)
it also has the one of the smallest strokes
in "stock" form, it will rev past 9K.
that was using 1970s technology
