How many books or mag. tech articles have you written/published regarding Modular motors? Here on earth a GT motor is just another Modular, which btw, anyone can buy piece by piece for themselves at any Ford dealership nation wide. My Naturally Aspirated 5.4 (GT heads/block, the rest of the components put yours to shame) makes as much HP/TQ as yours does with 11.5lbs of boost, but since it's not installed in a GT, I don't know what I'm talking about. :shrug:
I am content with handling things my way for my car and don't believe others should blindly follow my beliefs and ideas. Not everyone has the resources to do so.
For those who suggested things in a positive way thank you. Those who have not made positive cuggestions, that's your problem not mine. Those who don't have a car can continue to try to tell others they know more.
For those that don't like my attitude look at yours before attacking others. You can build your own car your own way. If you make more power, great. All that I tried to do was post real info and some of you folks don't like that.
That's fine. This is list is somewhat worse than most lists that let anyone post.
:beer:
You are possibly the most arrogant, ignorant, and elitist asshole I've ever seen post on the internet. Next time you're on the line with your buddies at Ford ask them why exactly the assclown that polished the GT cranks dragged his hand down the length of the crank with an emory cloth instead of holding it in place; which happens to be why you have a $10 speed sleeve on your crank keeping the rear main seal from blowing oil--or about any of the other dozen or more TSBs currently issued.
Then find out why they used a forged 4340 Manley H beam ($500/750HP/6500rpm) rod in the supercharged 550HP (actually 625-650HP stock) GT but Carillo billets ($1400/1400HP/8000rpm) in the N/A 385HP '00R? Why there's an inherent inbalance in the factory 4.6/5.4 oiling systems that cause oil pump gears (even billets) to shatter? Why it took 3 days for 3 Ford engineers (GT engineers at that) to get the motor pulled on a GT brought into a dealership for TSB/recall work? They did build the car... :shrug:
Ask the engineer if he or anyone else at Ford has designed/built a 670HP/530TQ naturally aspirated 5.4 (I already know the answer since the guys at Ford Powertrain (Ed Olin) called Al Papitto and told him they were literally shocked and tickled pink at what he was doing with their truck motor)? Ask them if anyone at Ford has built a 725HP/560TQ naturally aspirated 5.9L big bore like the Tymensky's, or 1400HP/1300rwtq ATI supercharged 5.4s (with billet cranks, billet rods, custom CPs, GT blocks they put your stock shortblock to shame) or 2000HP 4.6s ala John Mihovetz? How many Ford GT engineers design/build motors that win consistantly in SCCA, NHRA, IHRA, NMRA, etc. competition, and how many world records does the GT engineering team hold collectively? Has anyone at the blue oval built $50,000 a pop 1.5L naturally aspirated 500HP (that's 300HP/L naturally asprirated btw ;-) ), 13,500rpm SOHC pro stock bike motors for a living? I know the answer to all of the above and none is in your favor. These guys were hacking the starter bosses off GT blocks to get them to fit in Mustangs before your car ever came off the line. :loser: I could go on, but IMO, you're already six feet deep.
You "helping" anyone else with their GT should be classified as a crime against humanity. Talk about the blind leading the blind, LOL.
Saleen and Roush are nothing but smoke and overpriced uselessness, just like you really. To clarify, as I don't want this to turn in to an "us vs. you" thing, in no way do I believe that all Ford GT owners have their heads stuck up their asses.
