Hey guys, this may be kinda dumb to some of you, but could someone please try and explain what bore and stroke signify. I hate reading things and then somethin like bore and stroke comes up and ruins the whole article cause I don't get it. Someone clarify please? Help would be appreciated.

Yea both of those explanations helped. But uhhh ... since you said that whatever the comp. ratio is that's how much is compressed, then would 10:1 create more power than 8.5:1? I always thought that turbo engines have lower compression therefore allowing for more power, but now I'm all mixed up on this. So which one gives you more power, higher or lower numbers?
