from my understanding…boreing will give you a higher horsepower curve…but will decrease your torque slighty…and stroking will bump up your torque but you will loose high end hp

i heard stroke and bore will increase power no matter what in hp and tg but the tq would be great becuase you are making a larger area thats why some p[eople perfer 200hp ka over 200hp sr
