ForeignRS, of course any engine is about compromises.

Nothing is for free. We simply move our parameters around to obtain a torque curve/response that suits our engine/driving needs.

The only way you can have your cake and eat it, is by using a very large capacity turboed engine with 8/10+ cylinder layout. In this manner we can have an engine that makes the required power output and fullfills all the required low rpm drivability issues as well as meeting far improved NVH and design issues.

Sadly such an engine would be more heavy and of course costly, so theres the BIG problem!!!

Life is full of compromises.
