How does cid make power?

That’s how I basically look at that top end for power and displacement for where you want that power to happen.

You are trying to over simplify a very complicated thing. You can have a 291 Desoto Hemi, 3.72 bore and 3.344 stroke, in a rail run 200+ mph in the quarter, naturally aspirated. You can have a 71 340, 4.04 bore and 3.312 stroke, Duster run 102 mph in the quarter mile. Part has to do with weight the other is efficiency of the engine and what rpm you can run. rpm can be limited by oiling, valve train, component strength, ignition, fuel, intake, exhaust, aerodynamics, and I'm sure I'm forgetting more. In a typical engine power is not linear, a stock 340 and 273 hit 3,000 rpm and really start pulling hard. It is also helpful to know the intended use of the car. I'm not going to drive a drag race car on the street. I'm not sure what you are looking for in this exercise?
