Here's another article on that as well: http://www.egmcartech.com/2008/06/02...to-get-450-hp/

7-speed paddle shift gearbox is also being rumored...

it was kind of alluded to in the fact that they have not developed the next version of the dry sump other than for the RSR and perhaps another engine with all of these goodies will have to suffice?? purley speculation on my part....clearly.
