Amazing, you are wrong on everything you posted.


Yes, HP and torque have the same numerical value at 5252 on EVERY 4 stroke motor. Period! I don't understand your plottiing theory, but, oh well.


As far as the stroke equals torque theory, yeah, is sounds good, and some motors are designed poorly, and the longer stroke helps to over come that, but the only time torque is directly effected by the stroke is in a properly "stroked" motor. Taking a Ford 460 and making it into a 521 will increase low rpm torque, all other things remaining the same. But to say a longer stroked motor makes more torque than a shorter stroked motor of the same displacement is totally false. It depends on the design of the motor. I've seen it on the dyno, then proven in use. 2 makers, EXACT same displacement, and the motor with the nearly square motor stomped all over the motor with the longer stroke. The square motor had a very broad torque band, being 1.23 percent lower on peak torque than the long stroke.
