Guess the horsepower

the hey---it has to do with stroke. The TORQUE CURVE of a given motor dictating how high you wind it to get best time
Yes,and if you add more cam you move that torque up in the RPM range. its a function of camduration/headflow/enginedisplacement not stroke.

No problem realy to run big cams in small engines,just need to get the complete package right. I have run more cam than the OP(and im not alone) in a stock stroke 340 and i used to have a very good picture of a pair of straight 150ft long black marks made by hoosier, made by just kicking that throttle pedal to the floor from a standstill,no lack of available torque where it was needed.

Regarding stroke,Previously before good flowing heads at reasonable prices came out people ran fast by turning more rpm due to more cam even if it didnt make much more power just because more gear made the difference,nowadays we have better heads and ability to somewhat cheap create more cubes thru strokercranks and people are making more power and dont need to spinn their engines as high to make good power but we are now back at square one,since the heads are again what holds us back and if you are headsup racing you will add more cam and gear on strokers aswell.

Btw hope you saw my edit to the previous post.
