Gen V Small Block Details Released: 450hp/450 Tq 6.2l & 40lbs Less Than Bmw N63
As an M3 guy I'm liking the new NA V8. DI and cylinder deactivation for over 30mpg in the next Vette. Because these engines aren't stressed, they are bullet proof and have much potential for the aftermarket.

Exactly, and the only thing critics can come up with is "it's not DOHC therefore it's archaic" which is flawed reasoning in the sense that the flat torque curve, light weight, very reliable, and relatively fuel efficient design is unmatched. DOHC has been around since before WW2, but does make sense for engines that are restricted by displacement laws/regulations.

Rougher idle, hard on the fuel system. Ironically you can clean carbon from the valves by driving at WOT. Toyota made a workaround by using both direct and port injection on some of their engines. It has proven to be effective in the IS350 at least.
