how does one get a nice flat torque line. i have no clue. all i know is the bigger the stroke on an engine the more torque.

does that mean if i have a huge stroke with pretty laid back carbs i can get a nice flat line?

It's a combination of all parts used. heads, carbs, cam, and exhaust all play a part in the outcome.

Whats the application your building an engine for?

I built my engine for a bus and have a very flat tq curve.

Its a sum of the whole of the parts working together

Here is mine and a pretty flat torque curve works well for a bus application, but it really is all in the combo.
