How does cid make power?

What worked out even?

One would build a stroker for that increased rod and that torque shows up pretty good at the track. On the around town drive, that extra 133 lbs of Tq is an awesome feeling and very noticeable at the track.

In a “Speed Contest”, (Pertaining to cars like we have and reasonably similar engine builds) the basic rule is, first one to 100 mph will very well most likely win.

Thats a 3% different by equal or even I mean practically, there a less than 2% peak hp difference in the curve it's a wash and with gearing torque is basically wash too, for a 50 cid $3000-4000 I wouldn't call these wins and be upset if I was convinced this was the way to go. 2% got to be in the margin of error between to identical engines. I picked those gears with 26" tires in mind that difference is equalled if the 410 had a 27" instead of a 26" 410=3904 vs 360=3912, If you want to see these as wins that's up to you.

A side note yes more torque is a gain but less powerband rpm is a negative when it comes to power not always cancelling each other out but when I laid the two power curves over one another it practically did. Losing rpm in the powerband might be a bonus in driveablity but negative in power production.
