[quote][i]Originally posted by Andy[/i] Back to the original question.... A 16 engine flows more air and mixes air and fuel better at high rpms than does an 8V engine, which is generally more efficient low down the rev range. At 100mph+, even in 5th gear, you're going to be revving the engine at 4500-5000rpm. The 8V engine may well be past it's peak torque figure by then, whereas a well designed 16 engine will still have its peak torque to come, and maybe explains why for a similar quoted power, it can pull away. Just my 2p worth :) [/quote]
