Renesis is the actual name of it. 2 OMP's, rotor's were made differently, and I believe the exhaust is side ported, not sure.

the renesis has the exhoust port moved lower to get rid of the intake/exhaust overlap. and the rotors have a 45degre side wall to make the intake port flow beter.

the exhaust ports are lower... but they also come out of the irons instead of the housings. its the same size as a 13b but makes about 240 hp.
