[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15680479, member: 68944"] Ford has the capability to put a reliable turbo 5.0 with 8psi out there, but it would add a dramatic parts and technical costs, and engineering repayment to the engine on each car. Probably in the order of $2-3,000 per engine. A supercharger setup would make the same power at about 12psi and cost much less per engine, but then it would be much less reliable. The corner ford is "stuck" in is just deciding what to pull the trigger on. Whatever they make will sell out and recoup cost. It's a matter of how this car turns out that will determine how the next one sells. Ford isn't going to cannibalize its reputation. I think they are going to surprise us all with something special. The 5.8 was a wild card that was well received regardless of its inherent flaws. I'm gut hunch expecting something out of left field like a 5.5L twin turbo v8 based on a destroked tall deck rapter v8 block with advanced heads, vvt-ti, and split injectors. No reason or proof as to why, just a gut hunch. As a 19/20. But again just a hunch, no proof or reasonable reason to believe so except previous ford products and their requisite timing of release/halo status, etc. [/QUOTE]
