Yeah that was the rule of thumb.....

"more stoke makes more tq and more bore makes more hp"

Cubes are Cubes... there are always pluses and minuses

 

i dont drink beer......but i am not with the women's temperance union......i drink bourbon, and only occasionally lacerate myself.

Oh yeah and do i have to go get a HOTROD to read that article--couldnt click on that one on the site??I canceled my sub. when they started project integra.

On the whole bore stroke thing, i think application dictates,right now im running a 355 when everyone else has 383+,the last thing i need is a fatter torque curve NA.And my little blue friend more than helps for whatever power i gave up with 28 cubes.When the drag camaro goes together[que somewhere over the rainbow music] the BBC will be as ridiculously undersquare as the max cube limit allows, as its for 10 wide or radial racing.

 

but i mean wasn't that based on getting higher RPMs which increase volumetric efficiency up top?
In yalls experiment was it everything matching except for stroke/bore? maybe i just out to buy the mag

 

I think this says it all.

 

lol

the sad part is I did it perfectly sober too!

 

Ohhhh no I hope not

 

For anyone who hasn't seen the article...

Thanks man!

 

Finally read it all. Seems to make pretty good sense...go with as many cubes as possible!

I did learn from it though. I always thought the same way everyone else has.
