Rod/Stroke ratio is a highly debated topic... some believe that rod/stroke ratios are meaningless when it comes to total power output/potential. I tend to keep an open mind on the subject, but when I first read about running a longer rod, it made sense... more dwell at TDC for a more complete burn. There was a good thread on this over at hardcore50.com some time ago...
FWIW, I used a 5.400 (1.8:1) rod in the stock block'd 306 I ran this year. Going to run the same rod length in the R-block 306 also. I'll be happy with around 750hp to the wheels... for awhile anyhow.  Not sure I'd know what to do with a setup that approaches 2000hp... soil my draws, prolly.  |
