Question Is the AU3 XR8 220kw engine the "Synergy 5000" ?

Is the AU3 XR8 220kw engine the "Synergy 5000" ?

I was looking for some details of what was done to create the 220kw XR8 engine and came across some old info on the T-Series II and the "Synergy 5000" engine. Is exactly the same as what is now being fitted to the last AU XR8's?

To my knowledge, the only difference between the synergy 5000 and 220kw xr8 engine are the heads. The T series synergy engine used gt40 alloys where the xr8 uses iron GT40P with larger valves and have been machined to increase compression.
