I don’t know it just seems to me that 452-465 ci alway makes good power. Whether it’s a good stroke to bore or what but it just to have good results.

Yep, it seems that way to me too.  My Tunnel Ports do really well with that bore/stroke combination.  In the SBF world, it's a 427-434 that makes a ton of power for what it is.
