Is this like what goes up must come down? All kidding aside.

Experience as to bored compared to stroke compared to square/over square can anyone really give their experience with all of that?
What you need to do is put together an engine masters type of competition if there were individuals interested in entering the results/discovery's could then be preserved. The rules would need to have a cubic inch limit then how you go about getting to the chosen size would be the entry's choice.

Just deciding the cubes limit would be an interesting challenge for whoever is chosen to be the competition committee. This could be a costly endeavor for anyone interested in competing. It could be interesting none the less.
