The decks are cut .400 to .500 to use a lighter shorter piston. The lifter boss angles are sleved and moved along with the rocker shafts mounting for better geometry. Large diameter cams. Some with roller bearings. I still say that at least one or two run a titanium crank. OK....you can flame me but I know better about whats going on. By the way the guys with the GT/CA car are NOT the cars Im talking about.
I agree on the engines but I still show up at Indy for Thursday and Friday only!!
