The way I see it, a stroker crank, while increasing displacement by making the pistons travel further, also increases torque by creating a longer moment arm. The longer the moment arm, the greater the torque (given the same angle of force on the crank...which we all know changes due to increased rod angle). This makes sense to me why stroker engines are such torque monsters: the moment arm (distance from the axis of motion to the application of force) is greater.
As far as all of the other issues, I don't want to think about that right now. I have to study for my Patho test.  --nathan ------------------ --silver_pilate '91 GT, Built 306, Wolverine 1087 cam, ported Windsor Jr. Irons, and all the goodies...click the link to the left to see a full list of my mods...
