It is interesting - I suppose we shouldn't call them 'Tonowanda Turds' any more when they're getting specific outputs over 100HP/Liter in a production engine. My luddite instincts rear up though when I see a cast crankshaft going into a blown engine, even when they limit boost to under 10PSI. I think I'd rather see a forged one - though I wonder what it would do for costs per engine...

"I am glad to see that after generations of bad design, they have finally done away with the adjacent exhaust ports."
Not very new, 1997 LS1 had the same basic design and is the reason these motors have been making so much HP.
