if you want more displacment then you have to sacrifice rev's...
take terry for example.
676whp out of a 1715cc motor reving to 10,500rpm.
prolly the broadest powerband from a high HP 4cyl i have seen in a long time.
thing is above 500whp for about 4,000 rpm.
so do you want to rev to 10k or do you want to go with a stroker crank and gain some displacment and sacrifice 2,000 - 3,000rpm rev potential?

but it all depeds on what the car is being used for.
as for the reving and stroking issue... remember what kills an engine... torque.
i did say 2k - 3k rpm...
3k is a bit extreme in the honda world... but in other's its not uncomon...
our 20v 1781cc engines are reving to 10k safely, stroke it to 2.0 and your seeing guys gut thier bottom ends at anything over 6800rpm.
thats 3200rpm... unless my math is wrong.

I can also expect shit from you V8 guys, just dont like the 4cly? I know that my car is not as fast as alot of the V8s but for what it is she is moving damn good
there's a lot of money in that thing. not saying it's not quick, it's decent speedwise... but speed for dollar.. you got a terrible deal.. with the ammount of money that's in your car, i prolly could have built 2-3 cars to match my dreams and still have money left over with no clue what to do with..
i won't rag on you for talking shit because i probably talk more of it.. haha
