Hey all,
I was just toying around in my head with the idea of getting our converts into the higher RPM ranges. Would not shortening the stroke (if possible) be an easy way to increase RPM? It seems to my layman eyes that we are not hurting for torque as we swing the mighty 18" and 20" props. Would it even be useful to make a higher RPM engine? I wonder if all we would need would be a shorter crank rod, and to modify the cylinder? Perhaps we could even bump compression in the process to burn either the 50/50 gasahol or diesel? Any considerations that I havent made?
