When we were playing with our old school low tech engines this subject came up a LOT! One case is the GM 350 vs. 327. 350 got the 327 off the line hands down and held a lead to about mid track. About mid track the 327 came to life it seemed, and would overtake hte 350 and win by a length. Both engines had the same bore, but the 327 has a shorter stroke. Please don't ask me the numbers, nearly 30 years since I played that game. But! Adding length to the con rod seemed the help the 350 down the road. So when comparing the differences, consider the rod to stroke ratio too. Still, rhe best for revving, I believe, is an oversquare bore/stroke, with a long rod. I would consider using a 7A block with 1mm oversize pistons, 82mm, with a 5AG crank and rods long enough to fill the gap. Be a hell of a monster with the right tuning.
Now, throw in boost! I would stick with the square engine with a short rod for a supercharged engine. Big bore and stroke work best for torque. A short rod/stroke ratio works best in the lower RPM ranges. Since positive displacement superchargers fall off at the higher RPM ranges build the engine to operate there. The boost is linear to peak an drops off sharply. Turbos, and other centrifugal superchargers work at higher RPM ranges typically, and have a narrower boost range. The engine should be built accordingly. Any way you go about building an engine though, more is better! Just depends on what you want to do with it. Bore/stroke, rod/stroke, boost or N/A, NOS. 1/4 mile, oval, road, autoX, street, cruise. The engine I am building for my drive to work and home is a 7AGE with a mild duration cam and lift in the 9mm to 10mm lift. Maybe use the oversize valves too in a small port head. Should maintain much of the rev happy characteristics of the 4AGE but have the torque necessary to climb these hills as it should. Bore/stroke 81.5mm x 85.5mm, oversquare! Rod to stroke is about 1.5 - 1. (4AGE is 81 x77 with a rod/stroke of about 1.6 - 1) I could easily get 140/140 torque/ horse out of this combination with a relatively wide powerband. Now we need to discuss the head to go further on that bit though.
