I’d rather have an STI (not the car)

Fuck Apple and their lighting bullshit, it’s all about gouging people for cash.

Two words: Aperol.

All other things equal, a 4V design will make more HP and torque than a 2V design.  the 4V design is bigger, it is NOT heavier, it is NOT less reliable, quite the opposite, so outside of sheer size, the 2V design is deficient.

Your old 455 will easily make LS7 power and far cheaper. See if you can dig up joe Modello’s phone number and get a set of roller rockers, and bolt on a Projection (or other) FI setup and with a 292 cam make 600 hp at around 7000 rpm. You’ll probably need connecting rods to go any higher. but if that’s not enough get…

If you are going to that extreme, make a steel crank and use two of them bolted together. then you’d have the iconic V12 Lincoln of yore.

yeah.no.

Spoiler alert:

Pow! $20,000 down the drain.

Fresh out of tacos, buddy.

Not at all, if you want to pay for the fuel, do what you like. I think that except in commercial applications 2V should be outlawed however,

I said the only merit is packaging.

Actually, not only are you an idiot, you are a bullshit artist.

Michael Jackson had unintended acceleration?
