proving a point!! Nope, I typed all that out of one of my favorite ford high performance books!!!! Just to prove a point!!!!!!!!! Now we can start to talk about "my total lack of understanding" on this subject!!!! OK, enough said!!!
How was I put into the argument? I just said he most have pasted and copy agree with CometGt1974 as well If your looking to get every once of power out of a motor then you can play with rod ratios But before I would do all that I would just go up the next size stroker .the only resin Probe went with a shorter rod was to make there kits look better no pin in the oil ring
Hey Comet you misunderstood me completely about this issue, and I was a little rude also so I am sorry. My point is about engine longevity not power. Long rog engines tend last longer on the street but I wasnt trying to say they made more power. Racing is a different issue cubic inches rule!
Here's another view... It's fun to play with things like bore, stroke, strokers, rod ratios, etc, etc, etc... I love cranking up a motor for the first time after playing with all sorts of different performance upgrades and tricks. It's cool to hear the tone of the motor the first time fired. It's a blast to read between the lines in the rule book and try a new "secret". Sometimes half the fun is just trying something new to see how it's going to run. On the other hand if your goal is to be the fastest. Talk to the guys that do it for a living and go with a proven combination. At this point in time there's not much we can do that ain't already been done. Sometimes though, in the quest for power, we get off on our little tangents. That's what makes this stuff so fun. Your a gear head!
