You blurboed people crack me up !
Insane high r.p.m.'s ? What do you consider high ?
High compression ? Again, what is high to you ?
Higher powerband ?
Vtec ?
You imports people forget about cubic inches. N/A and more C.I. levels the playing field everytime.
With a stoked V8, you have a huge powerband. Ask Hybird SS. His motor never sees past 6500 rpm and makes over 400 rwhp on motor. Most heads/cam LS-1 guys are making 400 rwhp with awesome torque and power curves and don't rev past 6500 rpms. Just like with big cubes you don't need to rev high to make power. I prefer the motor + NOS combo just for the cost effectiveness of it.
