Discussion: blacktop 20v: the road beyond 200HP

[david]

also you have to consider this:
if you are building a 200+hp engine
if you are going to build a 16v you need the under bucket shims
but the 20v already have them..
and it is actually cheaper to buy a 20v blacktop head with throttle bodyes than buying the under bucket shims..
and the prices on cams, adjustable cam gears, piston and rods etc isn't vary very much if it is 16v or 20v..
and 16v you have to buy carbs or throttlebodyes which the 20v already have..

maybe the 16v is better if you want more than 220hp
but I think the 20v is cheaper to get 200-220hp...
what do you think?
