Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the XA/XB 351C and the XC 351C motors. From data the XB 351C is rated at 194Kw (non GT) where as the XC 351C is rated at only 160Kw.Why is the power output lower for the XC is it different cam, carby? How can i get my XC351C up to 194Kw the same as the XB model?
