bah I'm tired of hearing steakheads, with the same old mantra "no replacment..."

Look at the power equation. It's RPM X Displacment. so half the displacment at twice the rpm is the same amount of power.

so there is in fact a DIRECT substitution for displacment.

I'm not saying larger displacment is pointless, far from it. I'm just trying to adress that particular saying...

Now, if we're talking about torque... THEN maybe the saying holds true?
