I don't think that's so true in 2015. The reason is cost. You can buy a 4" cast crank for $370, re-use your factory 6.123" rods (if you want) with lighter pistons that also cost roughly the same as a stock-stroke piston and install it all without any modifications to the main saddles or block. Why wouldn't you do that? This is a good point... and I'm not against strokers at all, I stated they are for sure an advantage in power
The only reason to not make that choice is because you are trying to prove that a non-stroker will make the same power because logic does not support it. Bogus
But, I say prove it. Build two engines EXACTLY the same and see which one makes more power.
Two engines built exactly the same should perform about the same... same heads, cubic inches, cams etc etc.... no point to what you said
So blowing up junkyard 360s is less cost effective than building a stroked bottom end? Read the first posting of this thread, the 360 held together and the stroker lost a rod...
Again, think about it from a cost standpoint. If you are building something from a bare block why choose less cubes for the same price?
Maybe if you are running a gnarly stick car and are launching at 7 grand, well maybe you don't need a stroker. Most other applications can only benefit from more volume though. Unless I have it all backwards, I dunno.
so, you did find at least one case where the stroker may not make sense.... LOL
Please explain how you equate engine displacement with consistency at the drags.
