Fogive me if this OBVIOUS point has already been made ( I wasn't going to read all 9 pages to find out.)

But the "No replacement for displacement" arguement is alittle deeper than just.....

My 6.0 liter G8 is automatically better than a 3.x liter 911 turbo.

No one with half a brain would think that.

However!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-- If the sole purpose was to build the most powerful engine you possibly could. The higher displacment engine would create more power.

That doesn't mean my L76 engine is more powerful. Not with its internals, But if you are building two engines from the ground up with the only intention to make the most power.

The bigger the displacment the more power.


Thus-- No replacment for displacement is born.


Glad I could help....
