well the "annoy the neighbors" session worked. after about 45 min of playing virginia beach's finest come rolling up. The officer jumps out of his car starts looking over the fence and proceeds to drool. i asked him if there was a noise complaint and he says " yeah, yeah but what is that motor it is awesome.  so we proceed to talk cars for about 20 min he checks out the car. LMAO couldnt have cared less about the complaint. any way going to post video ling on my build thread. Beer time!
:wavingflag:  Quit being offended by everything, I am sure you are doing something that upsets me, but I am not complaining about you!!! It is a free county get over yourself!

that is the real difference
 long rod ratio = massive torque
 when you make over 400 ft lbs at the rear wheels @ 2200 rpm things happen fast


I found this article discussing rod stroke ratios amongst other discussions.
Seems to be very detailed , multiple articles on engines.
