The stroke doesn't define on how quickly something can rev. Period. I'm so sick and tired of this being spread around.

If this were the case, then as I mentioned before, the 428 Super Stock guys with offset ground 428 cranks couldn't turn 8000 rpm and make 800 hp....or.....the Mountain Motor Pro Stock class guys couldn't use a 5.500" stroke crank, turn 9000 rpm, and make 1500 hp.

Look up Jay Brown's big inch SOHC and tell me how high it revs...4.250, 4.375, 4.500 strokes, turning 8000-9000 rpms.
