Hmmm, what does that have to do with HP/L? Packaging is a consideration in how well the car moves, since you have to be able to fit the engine in the car before it will move.
You can talk about all the "engineering" you want, but if it's irrelevant to making a car move, then I will call you on it, especially if you think such irrelevant nonsense can be used to prove the "superior" engine.

I stated tq/l as an interesting stat, and you started calling me stupid and slinging insults right away, like a 5 year old kid might do. For what reason, I have no idea. Two engines, equal dimensions and displacement, and if one engine makes more tq/l, and can carry it for just as long in the powerband as the other engine, and the engine making more tq/l will make more hp/l, and more over hp period. The LS1 and the LS6 are a good analogy of this. According to you, how well an engine breathes and how well it is engineered to produce power for it's given displacement is irrelevant, but I guarantee there are a group of mechanical engineers at GM that would disagree with you. You know what the goal for the LS1 was when it was being conceptualized? 1hp for every cubic inch. That was the standard GM set for it. Are they idiots now too? Why are we not allowed to discuss all various engine dynamics here without being insulted by your "all knowing level of engine intelligence". Why are we even still having this discussion? Instead of offering any insight into the conversation, you have continually told everyone how wrong they are, and criticized me repeatedly of contradicting myself, which I most definetly have not.
I am sure you will have yet another "contribution" to make to this thread. I can't wait to read yet more of you "insight".

So, basically what you're saying is HP/L works if THE LITERS ARE THE SAME.
LOL, do you know how stupid you sound?

My $10,000 CAR, not engine. And the engine doesn't even has heads yet. Get your facts straight.
My stock 3.4 Fiero ran a 15.4, pulling a 6-speed LT1 by 2 tenths. Gotta love Colorado.

What point exactly are you trying to make at this point? That you have to get the last word in, regardless of what that last word may be? So be it. I am sure you will reply, so congrats on the last word. I am not going to respond to your garbage anymore.

Hence, why tq/l and volumetric efficiency can be interesting to look at.

Now you're changing your story again?
You mean the heads you have that can OUTFLOW any Stock V8 heads.
I can post the threads and call you out.
I dont know why you feel you have to lie.
Maybe if you were honest people would'nt give you a hard time on RFT or PFF.
