You have to remember - these are extremely light, high rev engines
we're discussing here and only in theory. To produce that kind of
horsepower in a light weight engine, you need revs - lots of 'em.

Nothing really - could work, but it's not normally aspirated which I
assume is the goal here.

Again, this is all hear say, nothing actually is proven and it's all
rumor mongering.

Speculation if you will.

not necessarily. A charged motor will have ample torque.

I'm not arguing that - I agree. But with normal fuel injection
breathing normal air, you need high revs.
