Incorrect. And ICE is an ICE. Each one has quirks and differences sure. But they all work on the same priciples. If you understand those basic principles...they can be applied to any internal combustion engine.

If you know a few "tricks" on a 350 only ...or a 1.6 honda only...I would not consider that person knowledgable about anything. Because if you are limited to one engine...that means your basically a parts changer that has copied someone elses formula and have little actual knowledge of what makes a car fast.

If someone is running a 1.6 honda and truely knows the workings of an ICE and applies that knowledge to it to gain more power.... he can do the same to a SBC and vice versa.
