yes the 4v is not more reliable - thats just stupid, more parts = more potential for failure.

But didnt we settle this with pump gas limitations anyway.

Quite true, but then a DOHC will have less stress on each component. Goes both ways mang.

Silly thread, it should probably fall off the 1st page for everyones benefit...

Sure a "built and blown" 2v can make more power than a "stock" 4v, but all other mods being equal, the 4v will make more powerAND be more reliable. I've tried both. I'm not bragging. This has cost me buckets of $$$ learning the hard way. I know that a built 2v daily driver is no match for a built 4v daily driver. I'm just trying to help others to learn from the mistakes I made getting to where I am now.... kinda the point for forums such as this.

I've yet to ever hear of someone putting 100k hard-driven miles on a 450+ rwhp 2v.
Where are all the 900+ WHPboost onlyTwin screw cobras?????? MPH has a 900+whp 2v GT, and another onenearly as close, boost only!!!

Do the heads and cams on the 4valve and your still gonna have a damnhard time reaching the numbers a similar 2v can with a KB. Period.
2v with 900+ whp on just a twin screw?

Where can I get a bag of what you're smoking?
