Answer 1

If you have to ask the best way is to have someone do it for you

If you realy want to learn ... I'm very proud of you

But you need to start reading what other people have done and learn from their mistakes and then decide how you want to go from there...

There are many books and DVD's out there just for you
example ebay .. # 110076150820
or .... # 180071429817
Look at the rest of his books, also
Books A Million, Hastings, Amazon.com

You can get 572 out of it.... But I would stay 434 to 468 or Stroker if you want to go Wild....

Study Hard, Play Hard, Have Fun...............

ZZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM...

Answer 2

Shorter Stroke = swifter Rev RPMs are measured on the crankshaft (the pistons pass in a linear action rather than rotating action. how are you able to degree ROTATIONS in line with minute with a linear action?). The shorter the stroke, the slower the pistons pass to create the comparable RPMs on the crank (the pistons have not got as some distance to holiday). How rapidly an engine gets to a definite RPM has to do with the burden (mass). this is why a lighter flywheel will enable swifter revs. A shorter stroke has lighter connecting rods.
