I never understood how the MDS system could work without damagine
or causing excessive wear to the block pistons that arent being fuel'd..
The cylinder deactivation works great! I have it in my Grand Prix GXP. The only problem is that it's performance tuned, meaning it doesn't run in 4cyl mode very much at all... A little ECM tuning will help, still working on that one.

This feature comes from the factory on quite a number of GM V8's right now, just not in the corvette. The nice part about the 5.3 in a newer vette is that it would bolt right in with no adaptation other than ECM programming.
