I don't know Dale. You will need a 4:1 gear box to get all that
power at 9000 RPM :-) Of course the incremental durability will be welcome
as will the lighter rotors and counter weights.

OOOh,  I didn't know we had specifics about rotor weight etc.  Do we know if the engine dimentions are going to be different.  Any hope that manifolds might fit?  How about attach bolt pattern for tracy's drive?

Perhaps Tracy's redrive. Nothing else will fit. Particularly the exhaust manifolds. 
The rotors have to be lighter else the red line could not be at 10,000 RPM.
I think the engine is the same size more or less.
