Displacement...
Here's another one:
Your torque is only as fat as you engine.
The H22 kills the other options with the torque. Everyone concentrates on the HP numbers. Those are for marketing only, and serve very little use when describing the performance of an engine.
Main reason why I have no use for a B16...

You can read more about torque on scientific sites and stuff if you are interested in it. Basically, it's the ability to turn an axle (well, that's the part that matters to us anyways

to give you the idea of how torque and horse power are related:
Horse Power = Torque x Engine Speed
something like that...
