opinions welcome on build.

So I have a question. Let's take two roughly 408 inch engines. Both are identical except for bore and stroke.


Better yet, let's do it this way...a .030 360 with a 4 inch stroke (actually 409 inches but who counts that close except every sanctioning body on the planet) and a 387 inches 360 with a 3.79 stoke.

Both are exactly the same. Both make the exact same HP. They both make 550 HP. The 409 does it at 6200 and the 387 does it at 7000.

Which one will be quicker and faster in the same car?

My guess would be the 7000 rpm engine , just because the lesser rpm drop when changing gears on the dragstrip , and more control of tire spin on the line .
