Is it because of the inherent limitations of cooling the cylinder walls, only 2 valves per cylinder, relative ease of scaling up instead of dialing up the boost, or some other reason?

EDIT: sorry typo, HP/LBS should be HP/L

What is the main reason of air-cooled radials producing much less HP/lbsL compared to liquid cooled Vs?
