There is one point here that is being missed, an engine does not know what name is on its valve cover nor does it care where and how it get its A/F mixture from, a rag soaked in gas will run a motor for a little while.
Not does the engine care if its a 1 cylinder lawn mower engine or a 24 cylinder radial aircraft engine. All it want is to be fed, sparked, lubed and cooled.
The point being that the fact that the 6 cylinders are in a row has minimal effect on tuning, what works on a rice burner and/or a V8 will work on a straight 6. Collectively we need to "get over" the 6 in a row to go stigma and start pushing the grey matter to make the engines more tunable and efficient.
Ok more than 2 cents this time.
