Seriously, don't you think better breathing is a good thing? Or was it that the added complexity didn't help much or at all?

diminishing returns. 5 valves doesn't give that much better surface area than 4, or even 2.

You gave me hope that someone was using 4+ valves per cylinder, and then you took it all away. :'(
