Please correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the EB going to be pretty much tapped out somewhere around 500 to the wheels?
I thought I saw that it's completely forged but even still I don't imagine it will be taking 30+ psi for very long? It's normally running at 13-20 so 30+ seems pretty intense in my mind.

The stock motor should not be pushed that hard, according to the tuner who currently has that setup. Good thing there are plenty of vendors finding solutions for the internals, head, and fuel system. There will be some EB cars running with the highest level Cameros and Challengers in the future. The 2015 Mustang has a nice lineup.
I don't think so. While I am highly impressed by the ecoboost power gains, they is still no replacement for turbo charged displacement. A turbo v8 will be most powerful than a turbo 4. Now if you're talking about NA V8 vs a turbo 4, my money is on the turbo 4.
Hell, these ecoboost vids had my checking autotrader just now. Here's how I look at it.
New 2015 ecoboost, cheapest of the cheap, $22k. Turbo upgrade with supporting mods, $4500 or so Will run high 11s on race tires. (not 11.5 like the one in the video, that car has a lot more than $4500 in it).
or
Used 11-12 for $20k with low miles. $8k for super charger. Will run high 10s on race tires.
or
Used 11-12 for $20 with low miles. $4k for basic bolt ons and torque converter. Runs high 11s on race tires and is no where near pushing the limit of the engine.
Obviously the top option is the only one that gets you a new car with all the upgrades. None of these options gets you a car with a warranty.
Oh yeah, my best option.
Buy a highly upgraded GT from the classified for $30k with aluminator and FI already done.
I've always found the money debate was a hard one to have because its worth different things to different people. For example, i had a 2010 mazdaspeed3 that i paid $24k for brand new, put a few $k in bolt ons and nice parts and got beat by my buddies $7k neon with a few $k in bolt ons. His argument was that i bought the wrong car since he was going faster for cheaper. My argument was that he was driving a $7k neon lol ...
500 may be a stretch on a stock 4 cylinder motor, but there are no shortage of stock 4 cylinder motors surviving at 400-450, its just how greedy you get with the torque in the mid range that dictates how long your motor lives.
