Great insight! I think there's a lot of merit to the theory that basically torque can break alot of components, even properly driven. I had pondered the question once before, stroke or not to stroke? I have spoke with MME, great people, and they are putting together specs for a fun engine, chi heads, hydraulic roller etc. Currently based on a 377 stroker, in your opinion....3.75 stroke a good compromise? My concern, if at all I suppose, is a 357 high reving, engine life span, etc. compared to a 377 lower rpm' to net the same seat of your pants acceleration. Or does the stroke affectively wash out the low rpm engine life advantage because of it's nature...stroked.
any thoughts? or am I way over thinking this just to go faster?
