This is MY opinion... but you people make way to much
out of the rod ratio... some of the quickest stock
style engines have a so called bad rod ratio... I've
learned the rod is the filler that goes between the
crank and the piston... it is what it is.. the side
load is almost non measurable for the 2 we are talking
so throw that out the window... I use to say, dwell
at the top... minasqueal.. on a STREET engine keep
the piston IN the bore... AGAIN JUST MY OPINION..
my race engine that turns HIGH RPM the pistons look
like hockey pucks and thats with the crank weights
turned down to clear.. they are super light but
ITS A RACE ENGINE not a street engine
