When you increase rod length, you're decreasing cylinder volume (even though stroke, thus "displacement" is the same). So while you can play more with the gas and air you can get in, does it really still end up more effective than before with more combustible volume, but perhaps harder tuning?
I'm curious, don't know the answer so if anyone is well-qualified, please clarify for me.  |
All I know about this is that V8 engine builders can debate pros and cons of rod:stroke ratios until the cows come home. That's all I can do really, just point you to the direction of the pros.
