Yea after a LOT of miles, and I, and we have to presume he is not asking about pistons and overheating in that situation.
So if these are in a newer rebuild there is a LOT of wear going on there.
I kind of sort of perhaps understand Rod ratio- Currently putting halve inch longer rods in this other HIPO engine we have going together here.
The longer the better usually.

having said that the most power comes from a short rod as it snaps off the deck and in that the HP / torque goes way up

The Vtwin is under constant migration of evolution in peoples shops.
As I said in most cases a longer rod is a good thing (rod ratio)
I was referring to this HIPO boxer above.
This boxer I am redoing will benefit from a longer rod, certainly, you are correct about the Vtwin
I prefer over Sq. HD transparently does not.
