As someone with 30 years of engine dyno testing to look back on, I can tell you that in most cases...... the Desktop Dyno likes wide lsa’s more than the engine does.
Especially when the heads are on the smallish side for the application.
In combos such as the OP’s, the “wider” lsa is usually used to facilitate some other aspect of the overall build........ that is higher on the list of important decision criteria than maximum power output.
