| • |
Redesigned engine block includes
quarter size slots cast into the webs underneath the travel area of
the piston which reduces the amount of air the pistons pump
resulting in higher rpm output. |
| |
| • |
Redesigned positive crankcase
ventilation system improves oil flow during high speed conditions. |
| |
| • |
Redesigned air cleaner leading to
reduced restriction and greater air intake. |
| |
| • |
Redesigned camshaft profile which
allows increased valve lift, therefore more air pulled into the
combustion chamber which helps to increase power. |
| |
| • |
New intake manifold and mass air
flow sensor design allows more air intake. |
| |
| • |
Higher rate valve springs and a new
cylinder head design enhance the engine's breathing characteristics
for increased rpm and performance. |
| |
| • |
New cast iron exhaust manifolds are
used in place of the stamped steel manifolds which improves the flow
of exhaust gases. These manifolds connect to a new lightweight,
titanium exhaust system which is the first ever to be used in a
mass-produced automobile. This new exhaust system incorporates
titanium exhaust pipes and mufflers that contain larger louver tubes
which help to reduce back pressure and increase performance. |
