[QUOTE="Fourcam330, post: 2771323, member: 24445"] You're looking a gift horse in the mouth by implying forced induction is a bad thing; when did you adopt the 01L2 logic about FI? LOL let's count the supercars with factory FI: McLaren SLR, Ferrari F40, Bugatti EB110, Jag. XJ220, Chrysler ME412, Porsche 959, AMG CL65, Bentleys/Rolls, 911 Turbos, etc, etc. etc. TT kits exist for F50s/F60s because some find them too slow N/A. Hell, even Neons are fast these days simply because of FI. Why is a twin screw all Aluminum 5.4L 4V that can make (I'm really not making this up Rob) 700rw and tq essentially maxing out the blower, such a bad thing? FWIW, Modular motors on the whole are much more reliable/durable than those exotic Ferrari motors you mentioned. Aside from the early production problems that were a direct result of it's ultra quick ride to market, the GT motors are going to prove very reliable. The dry sump oiling system is outstanding, as is the substantially revised and beefed up cooling capability, and the new 356 Al block is good for 2000HP. It's over 1" thick in sections around the bore. The factory forged crank (1400HP/7500rpm capable), 4340 forged H beams with 7/16" rod bolts (7000rpm/750-800HP, Z06 killer spins his blown 5.4 to 7500rpm with these rods), and forged Mahle pistons are all known commodities as well:thumbsup: BTW, whatever cams the GT500 has can easily be replaced with GT sticks (perhaps when swapping on the twin screw?) for $150 per set from Ford. I'd go Crower custom billet, but that's just me;) The stock valvetrain and springs can take .520" lift and 7000rpm all day long and have proven to be an excellent in RR apps. ala the '00R. I'm sure the bottom end, forged crank, rods/forged I beams by Mahle, and pistons again forged Mahles will be capable of 6500rpm NP.

Ford's not going to deviate much if at all from the positive displacement blown 03/04 Cobra and Ford GT ~8.5:1 static C/R status quo. Talk all the smack you want, but it's a stout motor, blower and all. Yes, but they've never been in a production car. Should be interesting, I can't wait to see how they do after 50K or so. [/QUOTE]
