New L88?

[Ethan]

Just some quick thought provoking since the C5 is our business...

Aren't engineers paid to formulate the simplest functional solution that
operates within project performance and reliability parameters?

We would like to see a 4 valve LSx, but perhaps with single cam or a more
creative form of valve actuation. The current platform/configuration has
great potential still, with research lacking in induction/head design and
engine geometry. Our suggestions to GM (which we convey periodically in
conversation with Hill and his team) would be to experiment with
hemispherical chambers and a longer [connecting] rod length.

because they're *trying*).  Ford engines are particularly low-output for
some reason.  It's no reason to beat up on 4 valve engines.

in love all over again.  AWD, VVT, and -a subject near and dear to all of
our hearts- EFI.  Saab had it in the early 70's.  The general is sick.
