Default Webcast engine factoids
- siamized cylinder bores (to be expected with larger bore)
- 40 percent more area with new 90 mm TB
- 30 percent reduction in induction system restriction
- 10 percent less exhaust system backpressure
- 90 percent torque bandwidth from 2500-5800
(I estimate 80 percent torque bandwidth from 1200-6500)

That speaker also stated a 13% increase in valve lift...
2004 = .479/.467
2005 = .541/.528 my guess ?
