Im thinking I need to just build this as a 340 and make everyone a believer that a good designed engine with a short stroke CAN make the power without having to rev it to the Moon. With the right air flow, and the right cam, it can be done. Plus as we all know, the non stroker will NOT make as much low end power, but it may also help it hook up sooner and better and off you go. Not everyone has a race car with race car suspension/tires. Yes its fun to smoke tires, hell my minivan will do that. But to hook and be gone like the wind while the other guy is spinning his life away, thats even more fun.
I love the discussion on this thread, got some people thinking.
