One thing leads to another... mean 318?

That's not even close to my point, you seem to be disagreeing with me on something i never said.
And my point ain't changing or evolving, far is I'm concern the argument is if added stroke in it's self creates HP,
We all know stroke will add torque to a given combo but does it also add hp? , I say no and far as I understand you say yes.

I say no cause there's no added flow being introduced to the combo ie.. heads cam carb etc.. and even though were adding torque to said combo there will be a decrease in rpm, torque x rpm/5252 = hp, so "more torque" times "less rpm" is at least somewhat gonna cancel each other.

As for name calling bringing up can't fix stupid in a comment were you talking about me is gonna come off as an insult.

To add to this...horsepower is work across time. Water brake dyno’s are a shitty way to measure HP. The best way is to accelerate a known load. This is an inertia dyno. I almost had one, but a shyster crook screwed me out of it. When I take my engine to the dyno, it will be an inertia dyno. As long as the computer controls the acceleration rate of the engine, you’ll never get the full picture of how HP and torque function.
