"An engine with less cylinders tends to be more torqier but less hp "

thats a very general statement. Look at the main large engine orientated manufacturers - holden/chev/ford ...take their v8's..its the opposite of the spectrum...theres big capacity and large # of cylinders and they have big hp and loads of torque...when referring to torque vs size ratio i think the golden rule only applies to the same amount of cylinder engines. its more the capacity vs cylinders ratio rule when you can make statements like the above.

But lets not argue about v8s please.

i am aware if this but the original question was regarding same capacity with different number of cylinders. Which makes my statement true

ie 6cly 2litre vs 4cly 2litre

of coarse a larger capacity engine should produce more hp and torque. As they say you can't beat cubic inches
