The valuetrain effects RPMs, so be sure to compare apples and apples. Also turbo now has 4 stages. Stage I is pretty weak. The larger stages give a bigger boost.
I will have a bit of time to sink into it in the morning but with the quick fiddle I just had I get the feeling I'm going to have a pretty big list of suggestions.
Also note, the RPMs are no longer readline, it's Peak Power at RPMs, but that being said, I did match up stats for a few dozen engines between 1920 and now. So if you think it's off, you'll need some hard data to prove me wrong.

Built a single cylinder for a truck, pulled overall displacement all the way right and came up with a $800 engine. Returned it to mid and instead dragged stroke. Overall displacement jumps below bore immediately upon moving stroke and stays well behind. Then I pulled bore all the way right and overall sticks about mid. Displacement of the engine and power stats are the same as pulling the overall displacement slider all the way right but engine price is now $138. Big advantage producing a 'vomit inducing' 2hp for $138 in 1901 but not right.
I do enjoy the fact the advanced windows try not to stack anymore and the bit of history lesson I got when I saw the new head types.
The displacement slider is just a simple (Bore Slider + Stroke Slider) / 2. It does look like it's bugged. Nice catch. That being said, displacement slider is set to be removed here in the very near future. (Next few days probably) So don't put too much salt into it. Use the bore and stroke.
The reason it costs so much is because anytime you move a slider to the right, it will exponentially increase the costs. If too many sliders are moved to the right it starts to x^4 the costs.
You probably should use a bigger engine these days. Single Cylinders have been greatly nurfed.
