How does cid make power?

The HP vs torque situation is visualized by me by looking at the whole as an air pump for starters. Then I look at the levers (stroke) and the volume of the air pump (liters per cylinder). The size of the air pump and the size of the internals affect how fast you can spin them. The faster you can spin em, the more horsepower POTENTIAL you have. Plenty of small displacement engines CAN make big power but you got to hold them together. I believe that you wont find many small blocks in dragsters.......but better brains will prevail....this is just me getting my head around it. simple man.

The search function will get you quicker results. This one has been talked about ad nauseum.
