340 Vs 360

Yes I always have a problem explaining my ideas, :)

What im trying to say is many on here believe thats a smaller displacement engine can't compete with a larger diplacement of the same horsepower. They feel the larger engines torque difference at the crank is the end of the story. But torque to the ground is what matters. When gearing lets say a 400HP 340 and 360 in the same or very similar car for quarter mile the 340 gonna require deeper gear to accomplish the same work as the 360. Because any engine with 400HP can accomplish the same amount of work in the same amount of time (HP) eg... propelling your car down the quarter mile at the same E.T. it just require the right gear to do it.

And with the crank stroke same thing, many believe for the same displacement the longer stroke engine will produce more torque but the longer stroke engine will have a smaller piston making the engine transfer less cylinder pressure for the longer stroke to multiple into torque, there for both engines have the same torque output capabilities.
