400 Non Stroker Build

..but the main thing you're going to gain with a severely "oversquare" bore size is...torque?

What I was saying was that the short stroke will GET to its torque peak quicker. Think about it. A 3.375 stroke VS a 3.750 stroke. Look at that difference. They each have their advantages. "Just because" the 3.750 is "more" doesn't mean it's "better" for every type of build. That's my opinion and I'm stickin to it. Cause it's right. LOL
