Re: Bore and stroke for reliability?
If you ask me, I don't see what is fun to put all sliders at +15 all the time, but putting some of them at +5/+6 depending on the situation can wield good results w/o raising the price too much. You just have to think about what would make sense in your situation, and it doesn't take that much to make a big difference on the performance, notably when it comes to the top end.
So yeah, while having a ton of quality on a cheapo econobox doesn't make much sense, bringing the sliders up a little on a sportier or luxurier car does make sense. Back when I made econobox engines they rarely had quality, except maybe +1/2 on the top end for the engine made to be used in a hot hatch.
