Sorry if this question is redundant - I did a search ;-) .  Can anyone summarize the differences between 2015 and 2016 model year LSV 23's?

Main difference is the engine and trailers.

2015 had (GM) Monsoon engines, Dealer supplied trailer

2016 has (Ford) Raptor engines, Malibu Supplied/Branded Trailer.

There are a few other options that were offered different. Surf Pipe etc.

and the Ford engine has more HP?  I think the Ford is 6.2l vs. the 350 from Chevy, is that accurate?  I was told by my local dealer that '16 also had some sort of differential change to improve holeshot - is that not the case?
