Here  are a few questions I posed on Landracing.com. The basic discussion is
about Rod Stroke ratio:


What is the perfect R/S number?

What is excessive?

What actual problems can occur with a higher ratio?

What happens by making the compression height of the piston say .5" longer
than stock?

If I try and run a smaller bore and longer stroke (to improve the R/S ratio)
does this create bigger problems than the R/S ratio?



Anybody have any experience with this subject?
