Whats the deal with 340s?

Looking at what you wrote with the 2 engines making the same HP I'd bet the 360 to win when both cars have exactly the same equipment behind them since the 360 makes the power sooner and more torque.


Your torque loses to my gear and my RPM.

Figure it out. No body, I mean nobody builds engines for RACING with stroke and torque. Asscar don't do it (they even have a MINIUM stroke length.

You are fighting physics. Stroke length has little to do with power. Cylinder heads, bore area and rod to stroke ratio age more to do with power than stroke. All the big strokes do is lower the RPM range.

That's why we have transmissions. If torque was all that, you'd have single gear drive trains. It's cheaper. But it won't work.
