Default 3.8L coupe vs Sedan

This is my curiosity getting the best of me, but I know their is a bit of a difference in power from the gen coupe v6 and sedan. Is this just a tuning thing or does it have other parts that are different? I dont know much about the sedans, so thats why Im wondering.

The intake and exhaust systems are different at least. There could be more. I would suspect that due to the intended purposes having different cams would be pretty useful.

I know a little bit about the differences between these two motors...... To keep it short and simple. Check out some Wikipedia articles.



To summarize some of the major differences:



* Valve timing

* Oil Pumps

* Exhaust Valve Springs

* Piston and Rods

* Cam Shafts
