Ok, from what I know about Engines. Displacement and timing are basicly what determine HP. Stroke effects the powerband.

If you shorten the stroke, then restore the CR. Won't this create an Engine with a even narrower powerband? Wouldn't that counter any gains from the timing change?

Just curious?
