You won't want it on track but you can turn it off in an instant.
The S54 is just a much better engine. Its smoother, has better response and has more torque lower down. Granted a blast through the red line in each gear won't tell the S54 from the S50 but its much more than about the raw power figures.
Having said all that the S50 is one of the best engines of its age so you can't really go wrong with either but there must be some reason why the S54 got engine of the year for its entire production lifespan.
I think in the end for some people its worth the extra cash for some it isn't. For me it was.
I would be interested in Lee's response. See if its along a similar line to mine.....
