wow what book did u get that from snitty? hehehe i know iv red that somewhere, and i know from all the schools i went to and all the engine building classes i took allways said that in line engines make more torque than v engines for the simple reason that there is more force from the piston comming down and up in an Inline engine than there is from a V engine, and that force is caused by rod angle, which is much more than a v engine thereby causing more torque. which makes sence but i dont know if i explained myself correctly
