The instrument side was involved with the acoustics of the exhaust system, that's true. But the motorsport side was involved with the block and heads AFIK.

It does what it was designed to do for an engine of it's type in a car in that category, making 550 BHP from 4.8L NA more or less instantly because of how free spinning it is, dead reliable and surpassing all emissions standards in the world by a mile. I'm not sure what you mean by obsolete for its time.
