I'm thinking these big motors will make over 300whp with ease. And seeing peak by 7.5-8k.
absolutely! longer stroke has higher piston speeds and that was a major concern. we don't want the rings fluttering away now due we?

also, the poorer rod ratio increases the side loading on the piston the closer it gets to bdc. its a game of compromises.
peak hp @ ~7.3-7.5k is what i'm shooting for, with a conservative, safe, redline of ~8-8.2k
