    Titanium is tricky to cast, I know that much. That keeps it from being widely used. A titanium engine would be able to rev higher than one made from aluminum. When I say titanium, I mean moving parts(eg pistons, rods, valves, springs, pushrods, etc.) cast from titanium. Infiniti uses titanium valves on some of their vehicles now, allowing the engines to rev higher. http://www.infiniti.com/content/0,,c...-32005,00.html
    I'm not an expert in cars, nor metallurgy, but, when I read how titanium was cast, it was trickier than rocking a rhyme.
    Stickers add horsepower. I promise.
