2005 JGC as described by TrailerLife Mag

I've had a chance to try the MDS on a Chrysler 300C and it is pretty much undetectable. There is a change in the exhaust sound as it switches on and off, but no detectable lag when you press the loud pedal or a slight uphill triggers all 8 cylinders.

Granted this was with a brand new car, dunno how gracefully it will age. However the Cadillac version from the 80's was a true POS when it was brand new.

How can they do that? Are there counterweights or something to keep it smooth with different #'s of cylinders?

Thanks, Matt

BMWs use recirculating ball I think.

Not hardly. BMW uses Rack & Pinion.

Quit off-roading on Mars. Rack & pinion is the standard here on Earth.

The technology has advanced quite a bit since then.

Plus the trick used on the hemi to change displacement won't work that well without the pushrod design. And a pushrod with modern fuel systems tends to be smaller vertically than a overhead cammer of comparable performance.
