also keep in mind the displacement of a lot of the V-10, V-12, and W series motors.

90% of the time, the individual cylinders pale in size comparison to conventional v-8s. so in the same overall engine bay accomodations, you can fit more cyls, but they are smaller.... so whoopity do.

with the smaller rotating assy, you can spin the crap out of it and not have the problems that you have with larger cyl motors. but the basics come down to, the V-8 works. period. we can whoop the isht out of v-10s and v12s and w16s all day long with our v-8s. why change to fit "their" style. granted as we've seen in the LS3 engine upgrade book, perfection can indeed be perfected upon. slap a s/c on our v-8s and get the hell back eurocrap cars.
