How does cid make power?

Bigger still wins. I already explained it.
Air pump, more air equals more power. There are exceptions where the heads suck and won't make more power but it isn't because Cid isn't everything. It is.

More CID with the same more is more stroke, which means more air both taken in and more expanded. The longer stroke will make more torque AND hp as a result.


This doesn’t explain why so many strokers are giant underachievers.

Look at the PONTIAC. Long stroke tractor engines. Ou can make 600 HP at 5500 but it wold get killed by 600 HP at 7000.

Edit: 7000 is NOTHING with today’s valve train components.
