Maximum rear wheel horsepower gain is 50 for MS5 and M6 and 40 for M3. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the M—Car Stoker Engine will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of Dinan Engineering. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the M—Car Stoker Engine, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of the M—Car Stoker Engine using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the M—Car Stoker Engine for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the M—Car Stoker Engine may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.
