Fundemental car question
 

Alright I know what torque is and what HP is, but what I am curious is what are the determinents of it. I've been chipping away at it and does stroke or bore play more of a role in determing torque, or does it matter. I was hoping some one would just explain a little engine theory or at least point me in the right direction. I really dont want to one of those stupid 17 year olds that doesnt have an independent thought in their head. Thanks

Be a little more specific in your question and I think we could answer it a little more effectively. I know there are several bright guys in here and several mechanical engineers (myself included). Do you want to know how stroke and bore effect the power curve, or do you want a whole speal on torque and horsepower and how your motor makes them?
