mmmm, in my experience, the new s4 has less lag than the "rr" and "aby"
motors i've experienced.  as for the "adu", well needn't ask.

also lengthening the stroke and upping the cr will increase the internal
stresses a tad, not lower them.

boy, im sure glad they went that way, that is obviously the best way to
reduce internal stress and allow for ultimate power....wow, audi does it
again....
