Thank you all - I am assimilating the data as revceived :-)

Next question, if I may.

What about the 1950cc engine WITHOUT the stroker crank?

Surely in this case we are talking about a significant gain over my  
current 1840cc?

I know about all the pitfalls of such a big over-bore but as others  
have said this is not necessarily a hand-grenade formula.

My only other option is to go V8 but that puts me in with some really  
big budget runners and like when I got bumped into my current class I  
would end up probably mid-field (and I don't go out there to come mid- 
field, as much fun as that can be).
