Wrong. Low end torque is not enhanced by bore size as long as the overall
displacement of the engine remains the same.


Prove it.



"Engine torque output is essentially related to cubic inch displacement of
any engine. The RPM that maximum torque is produced at is related to the
length of the stroke of any engine. A 230 c.i.d. "under-square" engine will
make about the same torque as a 230 c.i.d. "over-square" engine but will do
so at lower RPM due to its longer stroke."

What you fail to realize, is that you need to think of the connecting
rod as a lever. What is essential, and you fail to understand, or
address, is that my statement had to do entirely with WHERE in the
power curve you are measuring torque.
