Basic differences are in crank and sleeve timing. Neal can elaborate more since i don't know what i should say. And we can put the v2 crank in the v1 and have a v3! The v2 puts out more power, but that can be at the expense of mileage. I have the v1 and it has more power than i can use. It also has better mileage than anything i race against. Let's just say i can loose 2 min of runtime and still pit after 10 min, so if i think i need more power the v2 will fit the bill and still get ample runtime. That is assuming it gets less runtime. I don't know for sure.
