Also, I think Jay is making a much more global point, not just limited to his 585ci SOHC engine.

Just my opinion, but I think the everyday Joe or Jane Six-Pack is kidding him or herself, if they say they can feel the engine with the 4.125" stroke revving faster than the one with the 4.25" stroke.

I call BS on most. Jay has built plenty of non-SOHC engines too.
Yes, 10, 15 or 20 cubes more / less in the 470-490 CI range ... who can really feel that on the street in a light car?!

The 4.125 or 4.250 stroke debate ... take what you personally think is right and enjoy riding a cobra.
