was just thinking about the merits of multi- pots ,most cars have been 4 pots mainly due to cost and packageing I would say ,but then surly theres still advantage to be had with say inline 5's an 6's more valve area , more power strokes per rev , but are long blocks , so then we have V's say 6's an 8's as the next idear same again more valve area more degrees of stroke delivering power due to the v configeration and primary balance is good , but then size of the package can be a problem and friction losses with the extra cam work allso add to its problems , then we have the big boy's the v 10's an 12's same again lots of valve area , lots of bangs per rev ,but there a big package with a lot of heat and frictional losses , so whats your thought on the characters of each engine type ,and why do you think the 4pot still rules is it cost ? or maybe turbo tec that has made the need for multis more defunct ?
