I have always argued the v8 is not allowed to get out of its own way enough and put power down. I experimented with this growing up. the 300 hp v8 with non-grandma actions got 10mpg more. The whole think needs to be scrapped. starting with drivetrain. Not one idiot thought of the benz crank v8. the counterbalanced engine is a half butts attempt at one engine being a diesel and gasoline..the diesel wins with the crazy design. They never evolved to gas properly. Today with delayed injection, the sloppy lower half sucking up 40% of every revolution needs to be smartened for injection alone as an argument. Engineers are stuck, they are capitalized, they are owned. Game over.
I have owned trucks and maintained v8s for years. All goals were to gain power..it saved fuel every freakin time, all versions even the boggy smoggers of the 1970s. today is even more difficult because of injection. Injection is a SLOB. ALL VERSIONS..ok mr.piezo?
