Subject:Re: lifters for new engine? - and increased stroke

more volume equals more head DURING COMPRESSION. It also means more power (more displacement affects both).

The advantage of stroke is the displacement AND the increased leverage on the crank (more grunt), but it's a pain when you have to get pistons ($$$).

  would you think that more stroke would produce more volume of heat at the same pressure?(are you drawing more air/fuel) assuming you had the same valves and duration?
