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?
Just a number is not going to impress me, its what you use to make that #. If you are going to compare hp to liter; 282whp all motor 2.0L = 141hp per liter. 520whp all motor 5.7L = 91hp per liter. With both having comparalbe power under the curve.

But it is cool that all you have to do to an LS6 in a z06 is a cam and some headers and you have 10's.

Different strokes for different fokes. All i was saying the whole time is that hemi/pent roof head has some advantages in performance.
And the pushrod motors have simplicity and can still makes lots of power.

O and bikes cant really be compared to well to cars. Whole different thing.
