This is more of a general question but thought i could find the answer here.
I am really into cars and all. I saw this animation of a Chevrolet V 8 engine in motion and how much i saw, each cam rotation, it fired only two cylinders on each bank. If all cylinders were fired together (all 8 in this case) ,shouldn't we get more torque?
I know we will have the same RPM, but there should be increased torque. And not a single engine i know, has all cylinders fired at once. Why?
