The '85s have a 2500rpm stall speed vs 1600rpm for the prior ones. It allows the engine to hit 2500rpm right off the line and thus you can maintain full engine torque the entire time when accelerating as it will never drop below 2500rpm even when shifting as long as your are on the throttle enough. Makes a huge difference. You get less power with the lower stall speed as it keeps the engine stuck at a lower rpm and output. It almost feels like a hydro drive on a tractor the way it shifts/works.
