stroke
i dont agree with Russ67 totally as ratio is important, its just not as important in normally asperate motors, russ67 statement is true but what a bad rod ratio does is load the side wall of your block and in a stock block that could be bad news but most strokers motors are aftermarket blocks with thick cylinder walls, even with thick walls a bad ratio will cause more wear on walls causing more frequent overhauls and the lower the ratio the more wear, i no a guy who runs schmitt racing engines and they say ratio is very important in blown race motors and they built his and his rod ratio is very good and they told him it was important.... jm2cents
