[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16123470, member: 68944"] I’d love to see what 5-10 years of real honest tech going into ibc ohv design could yield. •reengineer the pushrod assemble, and entire cam profile to actual a split plane of double the pushrods maybe •reengineer the cylcinder head to have a lighter load step lifter to lift the valves much less for light duty, as well as a corresponding variable timing implementation •engineer variable cylinder deactivation that actually works on 2 to 4 cylinders in a cycling fashion when low speed steady state cruising to effectively be running a 1.8 to 3.5L engine so roughly a ~2.65L mill when cruising. My point is if half the energy that has gone into stuffing tech into huge 4v engines is applied to ohv ibc, a much more efficient design can be had that may well reach 100hp/L with much more average torque and much less physics size. Hell, if the desire is there, high rpm is also attainable. [/QUOTE]
