You see car companies go for 4-valves per cylinder configurations (or the
illogical Audi 5-valves per cylinder). Car companies care a lot about
top end. So, your point is well taken, but I still don't see the logic
of increasing size of engine when the same increase in HP can be gained
by free flow exhaust.
Cheers,
Jae
