Features

  • High flow cylinder head design to improve exhaust port flow
  • Enhanced valvetrain enables a more direct intake port
  • Returnless fuel injection with stainless steel fuel rail
  • Intake ports revised to match new cylinder head. The new composite intake manifold is manufactured with a lost core process improve runner to runner variation and to reduce flow losses. Acoustic foam is sandwiched between the outside top of the intake manifold and an additional “skull cap” acoustic shell to reduce radiated engine noise. Structural enhancements have been added to the manifold bosses.
  • Larger bore block with structural improvements improves block structure and bay to bay breathing
  • Pistons include design enhancements for the higher engine output
  • Higher flow injectors
  • Beauty cover has a revised appearance and acoustic treatment
