Re: 306 vs 342

I don't know exactly how much of a factor it plays, but the weight of the rotating assembly is also an issue effecting power output I would imagine...

So, a big stroker with a heavier crank takes more power to turn as opposed to a lightweight short stroke crank. Same goes for using differently weighted flywheels. A lighter flywheel will generally pick you up some power to the wheels.
