long stroke is great for a diesel.
the rest is playing with gas engines that should have been a diesel...ALL v8s as we know them today.

for example, even the 17k rpm f1 screamer...no good.

very rarely does gas engines do much more without making it hellacious combustion to match the stroke..the counterbalance alone exponentially increases in all engines but diesels and 3 main boxers...meaning they match thier fuel realistically. Calmly reutrning what cavemen are after..."duh" power without the lunatic...

the rest has been a sick joke on humanity for a long time. play with roller rockers, play with gadgets..it is all trivial...avoiding the truth of the guts.

Ecomodding long stroke gas is absurd...give it a blower and play caveman with the big noises...
