I think the long rod stuff is totally blown out of proportion with respect to results compared to a stock rod motor.

Also, the longer the rod the better the rod ratio gets.

I seem to remember a honda based magazine doing an article on this exact topic. They built up a stock length rod motor and dyno'd it. Then took it apart and changed out the rods/pistons for a long rod setup and dyno'd again.

If memory serves correct the stockish rods prevailed.
