Seem like a good description to me. I am used to say that Hp is piston speed 
times piston area.
Stroke or rpm seves the same perpose, it produce piston speed. We could also 
say that Hp is
how many cubic inches per time the engine deliver. If the engine is a good 
build we got about
100% VE, and i becomes quite easy to calculate Hp from Cui per time.

Rpm put big load on the rotating assembley, but we ar also rpm limited by 
the pushrod activated
valves, so, piston speed by stroke may be an option.

For big power, turbo is very good.
