Re: 238 mph
John, Thanks for your comments. I missed the part where he used a shorter stroke. Pete did mention decking the previous engine by an inch to run shorter rods and when that was outlawed, he developed the heads that insert into the bores by an inch for the same reason. I personally don't understand why the shorter rods would help but I don't understand everything. I guess it cuts down on the reciprocating weight (mass).
