I've found more than one package on a grocery shelf. The worst was watching a lady pull a package of ground turkey out , open the plastic and feed some to her dog. Naturally she left the package behind.
When I tangled with a Honda and their clones , the main jet was screwed into the base of the emulsion tube housing. This is a completely different setup. I opened up the idle and main jets and it's much better now. HF Micro drills to the rescue.
Would I be correct in saying...
Because of that, the 454 can tolerate
a larger intake port than the 440?
Correct!
Short rods (lower R/S ratio) require larger ports and vice versa.
Shorter ,sharper intake pulses with the 454.
I'm still waiting for my turbo diesel/electric hybrid with the generator powered from a compounding stage. Pie in the sky to be sure ,but you would surely wring as much energy out of the fuel!
I remember rushing home from work in the middle 80's to 90's to watch happy hour. The growl of the Buicks and the shriek of the Chevys ,the stock -block NASCAR roar. Open wheel racing has lost its way.

If...
Kenichiro Saruwatari, chief engineer on the new Mazda3...
There's a cultural disconnect on the language here.
When he refers to high speed , he means spirited driving.
If it was his primary language we would have seen a different phrase.
