I don't really want to buy into this debate but I'll add some info about the F1 stuff.

Ferrari sourced some engineers from Honda during the years when people actually tried to use 5V angines in F1 to do analysis on the 4V vs 5V. The conclusion they came to was that the 5V made more power than the 4V however the amount of fuel used by the 5V compared to the 4V was too much higher to make it worthwhile. The efficiency in terms of power produced per mass of fuel was lower in the 5V engine. The additional fuel required to be carried by a car with 5V made it slower in a full race simulation than a 4V car.

Is this relevant at all to a performance street car? That's up to you. I'll stick with engines with a little more swept volume than 4A's so I'm not overly concerned about this discussion.

Were did you read that?
All the info I have ever heard and read says that they just didn't make the power as the four valve ones did. Yamaha sent their best five valve to Cosworth in the UK in the late 80's early 90's (I think) and the Cossie engineers were very underwealmed as to the power it made.
