Some ways of Building Torque |
| Cubic Inches |
| Stroking creates more displacement, and displacement means power. |
| Compression |
| More displacement makes it easier to produce high compression without massive domed pistons. |
| Lever Action |
| A longer stroke is a longer lever acting on the crankshaft, thus providing more torque. |
| Pressure Power |
| Longer stroke creates faster piston speeds, which means that the piston can create a more accurate pressure drop to fill the cylinder more thoroughly at low rpm for torque. |
| Rod Angularity |
| Increasing stroke without increasing rod length increases torque because the piston-speed dynamics and rod ratio conspire to create more cylinder pressure at maximum rod angularity. When this occurs, the rod has the greatest mechanical advantage over the crank. |
