A lot of things cost no more due to the fact that a manufacturer has to do it anyway. It doesn't cost any more to make a 2.0 liter engine than a 1.8. These things are basically just choices. You could say a bigger piston costs more but it's a really small proportion of the cost. I doubt that it costs any more to configure a head one way versus another. It's easy to get into a mindset that these things cost more because we have to pay the parts cost and installation. A cam is also a good example. I doubt that a "hotter" profile cost more than a milder one when BMW was designing the M42. But we have to pay a $1000 for a pair of Shricks.
Exactly.
