I don't get the output............
A larger engine with else the same (especially the cam) tends to lower the power curve rpm wise.....

With the .060,   the curves shifted up rpm wise...

Hi emsvitil,

Good question.

I agree that increasing the bore in a 22 should show increased torque and HP. With all components remaining the same, a bigger bore will increase the compression ratio.  So there should be an increase in "power".  However, with every engine design the key words are "volumetric efficiency"  There are many factors involved.

Does increasing displacement necessarily improve VE?

VE typically directly corresponds to peak torque.  Lower VE usually means a lower torque number.

Tonight I'll look the VE numbers on what I posted in the Excel sheet for .060" over bore.
