A Collection of engines that I am rather satisfied with.
I typically build my engines with engineering time taken into account.
Comments, questions, suggestions, and critiques are most welcome.

Willow Wisp
Designed as a NA VVL engine with linear power delivery and decent efficiency.
The main cam is set to 100 to significantly lower the required octane, allowing for a 11.2 to 1 compression ratio and a 15 to 1 air fuel ratio. The lower VVL cam rounds out the economy and VVT allows it to run somewhat smoothly. A side effect of the large main cam is that 14% more peak power can be achieved with a larger diameter exhaust, with a small decrease in efficiency. This allows for a separate sport trim with minimal additional engineering time.

Aftermarket exhaust mod = +14% power.
Somewhat high idle speed and low smoothness.

Edit: This engine is/was completely broken by the September 15 2017 beta update.
