I don't think you are understanding my point. You were discussing technical advancements and the lack of V8's and V12's, etc. If BMW could develop a NA engine that could rev to the moon, with high output and be lightweight (and efficient) it would be a technical advancement. I think FI is a relatively cheap, old fashioned way to up HP and torque, and game the enviro regs.
Sorry, I did not answer your questions, and if you could produce the same levels of power with NA that you do with FI, then yes, it is most likely a more advanced engine and would weigh less, probably sound better and have better throttle response.
