But hey i understand where you are coming from. I am a fan of the Chevy small block and crate motors, because of the ease of it and simplicity.
Well, I dont buy a car because it has some uber engineered motor. I could care less about that. If i wanted HP/Liter, i would have gotten a Bike. HP/Liter doesnt win races. Besides, you can have all of the peak hp in the world, without area under the curve it means nothing.
And people are getting 500whp out of a cam only LSx cars. If you do that math, thats ~570 crank hp, which is 100hp/l. Now that is 100hp/liter with only 2 valves, pushrods, and a radically larger powerband. What is more impressive to you, 500whp or 200whp?
