James said pretty much what I was about to. Engines with large displacement and more importantly longer stroke make wonderful TQ. Even a stellar plant like the E46's M3 I6 masterpiece makes marginal TQ and only makes it towards the top of the band. Big bore displacement and long stroke is what you need for that asphalt Shredding TQ or stick with FI which gives you that flat wide curve of TQ most of us love. Now if you can get Displacement, stroke and FI you're smiling ear to ear.
