No idea, off hand, mate - I assume you mean NA?

See what I can find - I know several are around 120hp per litre - still WELL under what the bikes are doing!

Here you go - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...e_superlatives

I don't know how current it is, but recipricating (piston) seems to be the Suzuki R13B with over 180hp from a 1300 for over 140hp per litre.
That's over 2.2hp per cubic inch!

As you surmise, looks like the Wankel has quite a bit more - but that may depend on how you measure the engine capacity - true swept or with a correction factor?
