Understanding bore and stroke

**Jared** · 06-11-2014, 01:18 AM

There is a discussion on VBA's fb page about the Thunder Manufacturing bore kit. Can someone shed some light on why someone would choose to bore out a 1500 engine vs getting a 1600 which, from my understanding, is all the same, but with a longer stroke. Seems like with the rpm restrictions a longer stroke would produce more power, right?
