Stroker Tips & Tech Advice
5 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.
