Re: displacement

Alright, I'll correct myself. 4 grand for mid 13s. It still doesn't prove any point. And that's still a large amount of money for that particular timeslip.
My point was that higher displacements have more potential than the lower. And I'm not talking exclusively about same block with a little more stroke. The small displacement motors only advantage today is the OHC setups. This wouldn't mean that higher displacements can't have more potential, because you can also go out and buy an overhead cam V6 or V8 from some, though few places, and get the same amplification, it its just not needed for higher displacements because they naturally can produce more. In most cases small displacements are for economy. That's all.
And no, I'm not messin with Hondas or whatever, but its ignorant to say a smaller explosion can have more power than a large one. It should be common sense.
