i only know of one instance where a 6 cylinder vs. 4 cylinder is actually benifical.

any 4 cylinder over 2l creates a secondary harmonic, that can distroy engines; harmonic balancers are needed along with heavier crankshafts.

where as the 6 cylinder needs none of that.

gm engines
2.5l I4 110hp; 2.5l v6 145hp; 2.5l I6 154hp

195ci pontiac I4 vs buick 3.0l v6
