Also what were the changes introduced in the 603 to increase efficiency (more valves?)

The 603 and 606 have better head designs and are able to push more power as a result. The 606 is the best in this regard and they have pushed them to 500hp. It has twice as many valves so much more air can flow.
The 617 is not able to produce these numbers, due too its design.
