I can only speak for myself but having grown up with conventional measurements the metric system is something hard for my to envision. For me a liter is something you get when I decide I need a bottle of soda in my fridge and usually it's a 2 liter bottle. Having a little spare time I figured out some conversions so a person such as myself can envision how big things are. A mm is real small. 25.4mm= 1 inch. An intake valve on my 2014 Touring is 1.49" rounded up. There are two intake valves per cylinder. That equates to almost a 3" intake valve. HOLE E SHYTE! That's huge! Now my stock valves only open about .33" but if you figure all that air coming in from the huge amount of intake valve we probably don't need all that much. Not to mention we can wrap our motors out to 7000-9000 rpm. That's alot of freakin' air!
Just out of curiosity does anyone know how much valve lift our motors can make without piston modification? How many choices do we have for cam shafts? Curiosity killed the cat but BigNorm's live forever.
