I think you might be the one who is letting a bias stand in the way of reason. The .46 engine is simply a result of it being easier to produce low rpm torque with a larger displacement. The "real" HP figures for that engine are dismal when you compare them to the much smaller .28s on the market. I might feel differently if my truck weighed 17lbs, but I would MUUUUUCH rather have the super sweet mid-highend power production of the smaller mills than the instant torque(and not much else) of the giants.

The HB .46 is a complete joke for anything other than showing off in small spaces. It fries the tires out of the hole and then immediately falls on it's face.


Both of the HB .26s together produce what? maybe 2.4 horsepower? I'll take the lower cost, less weight, and simpler build of one racing .28 over both of them. Dual engine rigs are, and always have been, more about novelty than performance.


As for the EK-4... well, it's the same deal as the HB Truckzilla engine but at least they had the balls to stuff the monster .70 in there, and that gets extra points in my book.
