HOW.

You completely missed the point, I recognize the ability to make power with old technology, but my point was that it is not as efficient. Like most things in life, there are many ways to go about accomplishing things, to get a final result, and some happen to be more efficient than others.

Hahaha, you really believe this?  So a 4 valve head is "new" technology?  Electronic fuel injection is "new" technology?  Tubular manifolds are "new" technology?  Give me a break.  It was all designed decades ago.  GM LS series engines were engineered with an entirely different design objective than a B18.  Both great engines and cutting edge in many ways.  The only people who make comparisons purely based on HP/L or any other ricer spec are just ignorant.  Hell, you're the one talking efficiency and HP/L surely isn't a measure of that.  What efficiency are you talking here BSFC, mechanical, thermal, what?  There are actually several DISADVANTAGES to an overhead cam design including size, cost, and mechanical efficiency just to list the most obvious three.  As a rough comparison: just because the four cylinder spins twice as fast displacing the same amount as and 8 it's better?  I've spent a good amount of time on a flow bench doing competitive analysis on the heads from an LS1, LS6, Porsche 944, BMW M54, Chevy Colorado, and a variety of Honda heads.  Every one has impressed me in some way.  I've also done complete tear-downs on several of these powerplants.  In the end, every company (except the exotics) has price as the main CTQ.  I'll admit that I'm young and I'm far from knowing everything.  What I can say with confidence is that I've learned enough to be open to almost anything new or old.  I went into that position thinking Honda engineering was superior to all and walked out with a completely different opinion.

Something to think about: GM put's a lot more effort into building an engine for the consumer than Honda does.  Honda isn't trying to build something for you to modify and GM isn't exactly doing that either but they are keeping it in mind.

Levi, this is out of place in your thread and I apologize.  The car is coming along quite nicely.

I never said that 4 valve heads, electronic fuel injection, or tubular manifolds were "new". I did a weld repair on a Buggatti 4 valve head from around 1920, I realize its not a new concept. And hp/l is actually a great general unit of measure for efficiency.

Not really a thread jack. This is where shit goes down.

[narfdanarf]

HT clowns dont run Holsluts...

LOL..

true dat

[ctr99ek]
