agreed, the place that the 12 cylinder makes up is when a smaller stroke is used and a higher rpm. with a larger VE, higher RPMs would give a multiplier of the torque that would equal higher HP. All in all, this is not what one would be looking for if they were interested in FE. Do a small displacment turbo engine, gain the benefits of both worlds.
