Hi there
I Was thinking, would it be better to go for the BMW k 100 8v instead of the 16v if i would like a torque engine with lots of bottom end power instead of an high reewing screamer. I know the amount of work in the konversion is the same what ever head is used.

The only reason to go for an 8 valve would be if the 16 would not fit over the bores.
16v with suitable cam profiles.

Very impressive torque curve and from an relativ low rpm.
