and also thanks for the input i think i might buy one hopefully if i can save up the money

 

Sounds like maybe they ac copied the design from the old hemi head engine,which was one of the most successful designs.Your right can-am wont let ac take the lead in performance for long.This is getting crazy where you have utilities that can out drag a sports quad. wow hang on.

 

sorry to come a bit mean there i realize that now

umm ya. if the clyinder was rounded (hemispherical) how the ***** would the piston work? it wouldnt, its the end of the cylinder were the valves are that is rounded, as well as the head. you. are. on. drugs. alrite. and ya, it wont have that much torque at the wheels, dur. its just propaganda that is technically true, b/c its at the crank, which is directly out of the engine. besides, torque doesnt neccesarily translate to horsepower, its just a good model most of the time. . and spell check there you said 1000hp is beleivable. but ya im not saying i know everything, but i know that you are just uniformed</end quote></div>

Maybe i wasnt clear enough in my previous posts. By a hemispheric cylinder/combustion chamber, (pretend you face the quad north when you service it) the bore would be different if you measured the width of the combustion chamber from east-west than north-south. so instead of the piston being round and shaped like and O, it is oval and shaped like a 0

 

ok sorry i see. i see were your gettin from but i still dont see how that would make more power, in fact it would make less.

 

188lbs of torque is correct, but that number is coming from the output shaft.
