I understand that the 'math' is there but in the real world it doesn't really make a lick of difference.
Go get a dyno sheet and prove it. Both engines have to have the same displacement, compression ratio, cams, and the same heads. Only difference can be bore/stroke. Going to make the same...
Nope. You're using the same amount of air each stroke, doesn't matter if you use bore or stroke to get it.
You're talking rod angle/rod ratio now. That's not bore vs stroke. You can use different length rods in the same stroke engine. Again doesn't really matter much
And again, another common...
It doesn't really matter if it's stroke or bore. It's cubes. As I said the rod angle blah blah doesn't make enough of a difference to matter.
You can make a similar cubic inch engine, one with more stroke and one with more bore and it will make the same power.
I'll bite
One big thing with DOHC is you can fit more valve in the bore. Two (four, actually) smaller valves instead of one big one. Coyote and LT1 engines have similar surface area in the intake valves (and the LT1 has much smaller exhaust valve surface area) even though the LT1 has a much...

C8 Stingray?
We recently got our hands on a 2020 C8 coupe with the Z51 performance package and promptly rolled it onto the scales. Its total curb weight came in at 3647 pounds, which is 195 more than the last C7 Corvette Stingray we weighed.
You're looking at the...
