I hear the 2012 v6 is shooting for stock 1/4mi times in the high 13s. Probababy 13.9something with the new engine. How will it do it? We all know it will lose 20lb of weight on the new engine yet gain just 11hp more with no change in torque. So how will new engine accomplish this feat? Start with a new cylinder head design with integrated exhaust manifold.
- Improved intake port design and larger intake valves within the cylinder heads.
- Longer-duration intake camshafts.
- Composite intake manifold.
- New fuel pump and isolated fuel rail.
- New, optimized-flow fuel injectors.
- Structural front cover and cylinder block enhancements.
- Stronger and lighter-weight connecting rods. How will it accomplish this new performance numbers?
With the above changes the new engine will rely mostly on quicker revs do to lightweight internal moving parts. Revs hould be substantialy quicker than the current v6 Especially at take off which is what the v6 his been lacking in my opinion. Quicker more instant revs to get you out of the hole and an additional 11hp to pull you through may be what it takes to get into the 13s. Adding and CAI and exhaust will pretty much guarantee it.
