The rest goes through heat and have to be cooled down which gives the next problem in small chassis. And as a top of bad engineering they put on a to small high revving blower which heat up the inlet air more than it should be.
I swear Fords coyote with a 2.9 ltr. whipple would do much better in the Corvette with no overheating and same cooler size.

I can understand that position coming from Europe. 2 valves is not an issue. The fact that the Hellcat makes 750hp (not it's advertised 707) is testimony as is the Z06's 650, to the "efficiency" of a 2 valve per cylinder setup. Name another super car that has north of 650hp, isn't a hybrid and doesn't cost north of $200K that doesn't have a gas guzzler tax. I'll save you the Google, it's only the Z06.
EDIT: Only the Porsche 918 for $845,000 can match its track time and lack of gas guzzler. And we all know how Audi made its engines more "efficient".
The issue is over spinning a 1.7L PDB + a low hood and limited front section. Tadge says he and the engineers have it solved for 2017....we'll see.
