340 Vs 360

Stoichiometric ratio allows 100% of oxygen to be burned during combustion.

A dyno doesn't measure CFM, it measures torque output and RPM (and horsepower as a result)

CFM is a measurement of airflow, often used to estimate volumetric efficiency.

Gross horsepower is a measurement of horsepower with no ancillaries such as water pump, oil pump, radiator fan, power steering pump etc.

Net horsepower is the engine's output as it would realistically be to the transmission in an actual car, with all of the above power-sapping necessities connected

Everything being equal, (proportionate to displacement) A larger motor will always produce more overall torque than a smaller motor. This is scientific fact and cannot be refuted.

You sound intelligent, but you are wrong. Actually, means you want to be scientific, a motor gets its power source from an outside source, such as a battery or electricity. An engine makes its own power from within, usually combustion. So, your quote of a larger displacement (you said motor, but I think you meant engine) will ALWAYS produce more torque is incorrect. You see, a 5.9 diesel is an engine, and it will produce much more torque than a 5.9 gasoline engine, but by your theory they would be equal. And, as a rule of thumb, nobody is burning 100% of whats brought into the cyl. This is why EGR valves look to re-burn the "unburnt" fuels, and a reduction in emissions. This is why splitfire plugs were invented. This is why people spend money for better plug wires, hot burning electronics to fire that plug. Stroke is bottom end torque. Same displacement cubic inches will not always perform the same. If one gets there by bigger bore and less stroke, the engine with the greater stroke will have more low end grunt. Think of a bicycle. Your legs are the piston, the "WAM"! but the length of which the pedal is attached (crank) would be your stroke. A little less leg can out perform if the crank of which the pedal is attached is much longer. Maybe the person x crank would be less than but torque could be greater than. There, lol.....
