Yeah, bore/stroke/rod ratios DO matter, regardless of what the nonsense on the internet says.
If you just look at rod/stroke ratio and how it affects cam timing. Saying it doesn’t matter is just wrong.
It’s why there is so many under achieving strokers are out there. They added more stroke than they can feed, killed the rod ratio and had to handicap the cam to try and save it.
Look at a Pro Stock engine. You’ll see the rod ratio is right around 1.7:1. Listening to some out there, that’s very high.
It matters. Giving up bore size is also dumb. The same pressure across a bigger bore makes more power.
