I can't help but think there's a weight balance issue here. I'm sure the 5.5 will be lighter, unless it's the same block destroked obviously, and IMSA showed last year that they really do want things as equal as possible(even though it took most of the season to get there), so if they're going to be restricted down anyway they might as well switch to an engine that can create a better overall balance in light of it.
