Those and many other specs of the engine help torque and low- mid range power but are not good for peak HP. I know this because they came in my 3v GT. People would remove them and gain 10RwHP but lose mid range. They are putting them in most likely because the car is getting heavier. Smart move if you ask me but I seriously doubt the peak power will eclipse a BoSs. We will see for sure when specs come out.
I thought they were using the the Roadrunner heads with larger valves. Also the cams were bigger on both intake and exhaust sides, no?
