The new engine (16X) is designed to be a longer stroke.. we'll see how it performs though. If it's not putting out a minimum of 300 hp AND getting better fuel economy NA, it won't be worth it. I get 22 mpg on my 8 btw.. combined. All highway, i've gotten 26 before.. that's not great but it's better than advertised.
