The old BDA has to be considered the ultimate seven engine really, don't you think ?
There may be more powerful and cheaper ways to acheive the same result nowadays, but the BDA is just so right.

The pistons look very shallow and lightweight on the LS9. I guess thats a modern take on things even if they do stick with the old fashioned two
valves per cylinder which in itself isn't always a bad thing I reckon...

It's still a competetive engine though, and it's been around that long that bits are relatively cheap when looking at an out and out race
engine. Pat Doran's old BDT could run at near 1000bhp if he wanted it to, used to run it at near 800 for reliability though.
Reliability is relative in this case, as the races in rallycross don't exactly go on for hours.
