My opinion is that the compromise in displacement is well worth the advantages of better engine geometry.
Your opinion is that the compromise in engine geometry is well worth the added displacement.
Bottom line. We could go on for days, I'm sure. But why?

LOL! Well, I won't go into your use of the 'Strawman Attack' again. I never said, "Compromise in engine geometry is well worth the added displacement," and you know it.
This is how I feel...
I know you don't have any experience with domestics. At least, I think it was you that told me that. Anyway, in the domestic world, B-series engines would be roughly analogous to small-block Chevies. And, H-series and F-series motors would be big-blocks.
If I was going to do a swap, my number one choice would be a H22A. You will hear all the same ol' arguments against the H22A as you heard about big-block Chevies. Who cares if it weighs 185 lb. more than a D-16 and 50 lbs. more than a B-16? You can boost a H22A to 675+ HP with relative ease...
The only "compromise" I would be willing to make [in a swap] would be to go the LS/VTEC route. That's the only 'small-block' Honda I would even consider. That "compromise" would involve less displacement, not more. So, once again, you are wrong...
Look, you have your opinion and I have mine. That's fine. Where you step over the line is when you start using dishonest debating tactics.
If you want to believe LS/VTEC engines won't rev above 8K, go ahead. If you want to try to convince others of it, be my guest. If you want to attack my arguments using dishonest debating tactics and faulty logic, that's fine too. I deal with ppl like you every day, and it doesn't bother me a bit. I like it. I debate for a living, and I debate for pleasure.
You're right about one thing. "We could go on for days..." It's up to you, bro. Personally, if the situation was turned, I would just ignore me. You're never gonna win. That's the best way to handle ppl like me...
