ok, i want to try to get you off the street car stuff...Iam talking race engines. Iam talking HP and TQ that is usable on a race track, and something that will last a lot longer between rebuilds to get my over all cost of racing down. Iam not going to the store in this car nor am i going to CCC to "run down hondas". Iam talking about a fucking race car. A smaller huge turbo'd I4 is going to have to stay in boost to make the same hp as that V8 (read, the engine itself must work harder) and there for will use a lot of fuel and put a lot of stress on that engine. A lot more stress then an NA V8 making the same power. The V8 also has more usable power around the track then a laggy big turbo I4. See there how i made my point with out once using a single opinion.
