They are minor as compared to what has been the trend for M engined vehicles versus their more "pedestrian" counterparts. I wonder if the piston ring change was done for better compression or for better heat transfer? Like I said I havent read much about that particular upgrade so maybe you could shed more light on that. The flywheel is a difference but i would wager it isn't a HUGE difference to the normal driver when driven back to back...just my opinion....
