Tuned 4 cyls are usually loaded with technology. DOHC, evo is running twin yrubos and 4wd, rally brd tech etc. 6 cylinders are a little closer to v8's in that they have medium size displacements but once again they are loaded with tech. DOHC, supra runs twin turbos and a getrag transmission.

V8's follow the old american formula: there is no replacement for displacement. The lS1 is a rather low tech OHV v8 still running on pushrods. It's large displacement however allows it to generate massive amounts of torque and power.
