for example say two equal engines. same heads, cam bore...etc only thing changes is the stroke. how would both engines stack up in the 1/4???



Depends on the car. Heavy car, the added inches will likely help. Light car, the added inches might run out of air before the end of the track. Too many variables. Additional stroke will make for a more "fun" car. Might not be quicker at the track though.
