How does cid make power?

Depends…. Are the he engine owners trying for max output? I haven’t seen but one build that had a Victor head up top a stroker. All I see here being posted and talked about by a huge margin is 308’s with ported Edelbrock heads. A very few W engines, but not being built or asked questions on. The W head owners are or seemed to be happy just doing there thing.

Why?


Only if you know what your doing…..

If you don’t want max power why spend the money on a stroker?

Because the engine with more RPM can use lower gears (that is better than using the crank to make torque)and it has more power cycles in whatever distance you are running. Doesn’t matter if it’s 1/8th or 1/4 mile or a circle track engine, the higher RPM engine makes more power cycles. That is what matters. How many times the cylinder has a power stroke.

7k is nothing today. Even using 273 rockers you can do 7k forever. I’d venture to say that 8k if the oiling system is good is nothing today.
