The SV engine reportedly has a more linear power delivery, while being down slightly on top end horsepower from the TL. If I remember correctly, the TL has somewhere around 120 RWHP, while the SV is closer to 110. The valves and intake ports are smaller and the valve timing has been altered also. While some people may think the SV engine is an emasculated TL, it certainly does not feel emasculated to me. It may be down on top end power, but it has midrange punch to make you smile. Unless you're REALLY in a hurry, you can go at a very respectable pace without ever approaching redline. Whether or not you like the SV depends on what you're after, I guess. I know I sure like mine. :first:
