340 Vs 360

Thank you, that is exactly the explination that I was hoping would get posted. I've said for years that in most builds the short stroke advantage isn't something most guys aren't capable of taking advantage of me included. It will continue to be a virtue to be spouted by internet experts for years to come.

Exactly. If RPM isn’t your thing you give up power not doing it. Most guys don’t have the stomach for big RPM and that in todays world is 8500 and up.

Building an engine for 6500 RPM in my world is a waste of power.

But cheap assed Chrysler guys want to run the cheapest **** they can find, so that’s what you get.

RPM is King of horsepower. A quick trip to a dragstrip (excluding bracket cars which has retarded engine development by decades) you’ll quickly learn that big torque numbers don’t matter.

And in fact it doesn’t really matter for street/strip either because torque doesn’t move the car.

Those who love to read and speculate but don’t actually test what they read still think torque moves the car and makes it faster, regardless of proof.

As an example, I’ve asked on multiple platforms for years and years to show me a single power/speed calculator based on torque.

Answer: there isn’t one because it’s not what moves the car.
