think of a engine as a air pump, the bigger it is the more air it has the potential to flow.
you can make power one of two ways n/a, either with more displacement or spinning higher rpms. you can not beat displacement if the same amount of tech is invested into both engines... plus a bigger engine will be more reliable with its power boosting the shit out of a small engine or winding the piss out of it will take a tole on its reliability.
