an increase in displacement does not allways acheive more power once again f1 engines big bore short stroke high revving torque they are able to make 900hp without a turbo
by shortening the stroke of the 25 decreases the overall stress on all the parts at a given rpm wich is also what the rod ratio is good for hp is torque times rpm /5252 a direct relationship between torque and rpm yea
being able to generate a higher revving toque due to the increased ablility to rev eg better rod ratio and shortened stroke is that not a good thing
