oh...one more thing. Your example of the Honda motorbike engine...look at the significant difference in those numbers, is one engine "less durable" than the other? I'd venture to say no, unless it's abused regularly.

The example was to show with the same engine, some minor changes (like different cams and a gear) cause shifts in the Torque/HP range--no free lunch. If any inference to honda motor longevity is there, it's not meant. Quite honestly, I'm surprised superbike engines last so long given the heat, small parts, and high RPMs they go through.

The age was ChaseSpeed; he said something about not listening to him because he was young or something; I don't know I wasn't paying attention. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/coolg.gif" alt="" /> Happy Birthday, Phil, as I'll forget by next month.

It actually turned into a good discussion. Given the post a few weeks ago about the high HP Trooper (and how he got hammered on demands for dyno over and over), I'm surprised how much feedback I received for saying changing a major engine component and experience only gains requires some proof.
