100hp per liter is Honda talk because their cars are slow unless you build them for boost, even then their power range is like 6k-9k and that's it. We can get that 100 hp per liter with an exhaust, TP's/HFC's and an intake.

The 100hp per liter is not Honda talk. I come from a motorcycle background, and that was what we use to shoot for. Now it's 200hp per liter. When you talk NA cars, that's another story. A stock 370z is putting 350hp at the crank. That's still 20hp short of the 100hp per liter mark. Remember we are talking about STOCK with NO add-ons. You really want a figure to shoot for? How about 180hp per liter. That's what the 1000cc BMW is putting out at the rear wheel. That would mean a 3.7 liter motor putting out 666hp.

To get this kind of power. Big bore, short stroke, high rpm. Just like the bikes do it.

And your power would begin at 5,000rpm, with NO bottom end.
