Yea i can understand that.His vision went beyond just the Mustang.Yes John did a great job, but he also was very limited on money too. In order to get those rods he went with a much cheaper weaker piston in the 03/04 cobras. It was a give and take much like the SVT with the shelby project.
SVT Shelby ended up using a weaker rods, but stronger pistons. Also ended up with a 5.4 over the 4.6. And a 2.1L blower vs 1.8.
