Per your discussions in another thread relating to comparitive sizes between intake and exhaust valves, there was some discussion concerning rod ratios (rod length to stroke ratios)

I am of the opinion that increasing this ratio (longer rod, maintaining displacement) demonstrates increases in power/torque, especially in non-race tuned engines. I have several magazine articles that back this up. Just wanting to get your thoughts.
