So let's choose 10.000rpm. Ops, Your V8s can't go that far! V12s rules!
Just kidding, RC45!

forgive me if i've got the wrong end of the stick because i haven't read the whole topic but....
Why should we be comparing HP produced at the same RPM for different engine layouts?
I thought that almost all V8's will produce more power or more of their power at lower revs than V12's mainly because their peak power is almost always lower.
I just don't see the point of comparing power produced at the same RPM number for different engine layouts
sorry if i've mis understoodd the discussion

I admit I didn't follow the whole discussion, but this small scan should give a pretty quick answer to what is better between V8, 10 or 12

JUst like HP/l - it is simply a measurment at a point in time.
SImply an academic excercise to see what produces what power where.

Well - some folks have tried real hard to steer it that way - but all it is about is which number of cylinders does what and when...
