Lets say a 120HP@6000rpm B18 v 120HP@5500rpm 2130 using B21 crank, rods & pistons. My money would be on the ligthweight B18 regardless of the obvious torque disadvantage. It takes considerable HP to accelerate all that stuff up & down. Also, no amount of bottom end torque is goin to help in a drag race if you are reving it up to 6000 each gear shift.

Cheers,
Paul.
