AFAIK, and based on info from someone who should know, the new ACR will
make an honest 150 hp. The major improvement is in the torque curve
gained with addition of the electrially controlled duel intake manifold,
a plastic one I beleive. Better low end numbers with a flat top curve.
Maybe this has been changed in the last couple of weeks.?
