360 crank in a 318 block

generally a short stroke will rev quicker than a long stroke engine and the longer stroke produces more torque.I have read where 10 second 408 stroker smallblocks actually et better with 3.91 rear gears as opposed to 410 but have no first hand experience.
..a friend has a 396 camaro and a 408 dart,with very similar cams and gears.Heads up the Dart pulls away from the camaro but from about 80 up he says the camaro walks away easily.
