I'm curious about this subject too. Does anyone pay attention to rod ratios? I've read that a rod ratio of approximately 1.6 is recommended, but the higher the better. I'm not at the point of building an engine just yet, but I was wondering if the rod ratio of a 482 is desirable or undesirable? How about compared to a stock stroke or somewhere in the middle. While I understand everyone is after torque for the street, if you run your car at the track, wouldn't a smaller engine be snappier?
