i saw a few pics of the F1 engine ( the V6 twin turbo) and everyone kept saying "look at how short the stroke is".... so this brings me to the question

what diffrence does the length of the stroke make???

And i can understand that everyone wants HP, but i'm all about gearing. I see it as you can only go as fast as your tranny can put down. So that being said what diffrence is it?

 

anyone?

 

shorter stroke = higher revs.

longer stroke - more trq.

and a 200hp motor on transmission "a" will go thru the gears way faster then a 100hp on the same trans.

 

ok so does a higher reving engine make more power? and i have heard that torque isn't important after 60'...i don't know how true this is but thats what i have heard.

so how would a high compression ( i also heard the more compression = more power), short stroke engine do compared to a longer stroke lower compression?
