Whatever floats your boat, if you think I'm wrong, then maybe I am. Have you
tried it? Prolly not. Have I? Not on purpose.

All I know is that I had a plug wire disconnect on a 4.7 v8 and it was not all
that noticable until some load was put on it (the light and code retrival told
me more than anything else). I also had a 4.2 i6 with no effective compression
on one cylinder and I did not notice anything unless some load was put on it.

FWIW, the new Hemis idle on only on 4 cylinders.
