It is possible to adapt a flat plane crankshaft to this app? Or do flat plane crankshafts only work on 4 cylinder applications? The firing order would conceivably change w/a flat plane, correct? If yes, the camshafts would need to be re-engineered to open valves at different intervals, correct?
The weight differential from the n52 to the S54 is 255lbs. And the "feel" is quite noticeable driving one then the other. Bit spendy tho, 14k? Mind you R&D, investment in molds and equipment probably easy to justify, for what may be a very limited market.
