Or, maybe your head is permanently stuck up your *** thinking torque rotates the earth. You are WRONG. By far. And yet you argue it.
Here’s what I say. Use the biggest bore you can, then set the stroke length to run the RPM you want. I gave up on 5500 RPM engines in high school. If you can’t make a valve train live at 6500 it’s time to take up putt-putt golf.
Since I’m giving you a free education, how about this? You have two 500 HP engines. One does it at 5500 RPM and the other does it at 6500 RPM. Which one gets its *** kicked every time? That’s right, the low RPM engine. Now, if you want to mentally masturbate, you can look at the BSFC numbers and I’d bet the higher RPM engine will have better BSFC numbers. Seen it way too many times.
Notice I didn’t say a damn thing about bore or stroke? Think on that for a while.
