I don't get this part. Can you explain why the long stroke engine would
produce higher intake velocity? Since both engines would have the same
displacement it seems they would "want" to pump the same amount of air. Are
you assuming that the smaller bore equates to smaller valves and/or ports?
I follow the rest of your explanation just fine, and thanks for explaining
it so concisely.
