Thanks Steve for posting this,

Most of you racers already knew this, but I thought it would be helpfull to explain to the "newbies" why they can't spin their stock 400m to the same revs a stock 289 can safely turn! There are a lot of variables to these formulas, including whether some of these engines could even hit the "grenade" rpms with a brick on the accelerator pedal. But the article should at least show people why strokers need better rods and pistons than a stock stroker. Thanks,

SteveW
