The horsepower and torque of a motor can be increased in many ways. One of them is installing stroker engines. The rotational force that is generated by an engine is what is referred to as torque. Universal unit for measuring torque is lb-ft. To find the horsepower of the engine, the torque is multiplied by RPM and the result divided by 5252. These two factors (horsepower and torque) are used to describe the power of an engine.

It is interesting to note that these engines work through four main stroke processes. These processes are intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust in that order. This process normally works procedurally in that the next process begins once the previous one has been completed and continues in that manner. As the combustion process continues, the piston is forced downwards, hence the energy is created which is converted to rotational force through the crankshaft.

After the combustion process has completed and the resulting energy converted into rotational force, the car is forced into motion. In other words, it is the rotational force created by the crankshaft that generates the necessary kinetic energy the car needs. Drive in the car results from this kinetic energy.

In case the stroke of an engine needs to be increased, a stroker kit may be installed. The stroker kit is able to increase the stroke by reducing how long the connecting rod is while at the same time making the crankshaft longer. These two simultaneous procedures the kit performs normally make the piston move down a little more and at the same time able to reach the peak just like in a factory engine.

Because it is possible to increase stroke in the engine, it is equally possible to reduce the stroke. For this to happen, one has to reverse the process of increasing the stroke. This means that the connecting rod has to be made longer and at the same time shortening the length of the crankshaft. This is mostly done with the aim of obtaining an engine that is small in size.

Considering the numerous mathematical and engineering functions that are involved in the engine, the field demands a high level of professionalism. It is very difficult for someone without knowledge of engineering terminology and a clear grasp of mathematics to succeed in this field. For instance, it is hard to calculate the horsepower and torque of different products using the existing formulas.

Products with the original design are becoming less efficient as more power is being demanded. Majority of the manufacturing companies are coming up with products that satisfy at least 90 percent of the demands in the market. Therefore, other factors such as cost, combustion power, and size can be used as measurements for efficiency of engines. Thus, engines in the market should be of an average size but be affordable enough to clients.

Generally, the future is bright for these engines since every manufacturer is striving to produce the best product in the market. In future, the engines will not only be affordable, but will be smaller than average and with a desirable combustion power. The procedural working of the product may also change soon.
