Size doesn't matter. When I found efficiency, I found power.

Bigger isn't better in most all cases. If It were I'd only be building my 4,2L engine, and nothing else.

To big build and optimize it, costs real money. Building it big without coefficient design, means it'll be a pig. I see people do this all the time, and the engine isn't good at anything.

Other than burning gas.
