Most of your Mountain Motor and some of your Pro Stock engines use extremely long strokes.....like 5.5-5.75". They will zing to 8000-9000 as quick as you can get on the loud pedal.

Long stroke Pro Stock engines? I don't think anyone uses a bore smaller than 4.70" with stroke in the 3.50"-3.60" range. I think they are also using an 8.90" deck height to keep the compression height to a minimum while utilizing a shorter, lighter rod and to keep the push rods shorter. Regarding rods, I believe they are running Honda rods. They're basically BB's built to ultra-light SB specs except for the bore... so they'll rev...
