What Matt and Kyle said. Think about it: you supply gasoline to each cylinder and fire every one of the 8. Every cylinder exerts its force onto the crank and will do the same work as the other 7. Some extra losses will result from mechanical linkages to connect the two cranks, but when you double the number of cylinders, burn double the amount of fuel, you get double the power. Double double cheese cheese will get you double double fat, too! :)
