rod/stroke question

[200v]

Would it be correct to assume that if two engines of the same displacement and same basic configuration each had different rod/stroke ratios, that they could both be optimized to produce the same power levels? In other words, if care was taken to account for the different breathing characteristics that each rod/stroke combination produced, would both engines produce the same power in the end - or is one fundamentally superior over another? For sake of argument, let's say the target for peak power was 7500 rpm and the two ratios were 1.6:1 and the other was 2.1:1 r/s.

Thanks
