[QUOTE="GTSpartan, post: 16078947, member: 21531"] Agree with everything you wrote, just pointing out that Ford gave up most of those advantages that you listed during development, to achieve acceptable levels of durability and NVH. *Crank design - Basically every FPC has a U-D-D-U configuration. The Voodoo has a U-D-U-D. This comes at a weight penalty to quell vibration. *Lightweight rotating assembly - The dual mass flywheel installed on the Voodoo negates any weight advantage over its CPC cousin. SID197 did a fantastic write-up on this very subject. In the end, the Voodoo only managed 4hp more than a CPC version of itself. In my numble opinion, to go through all that work for those gains puts this as a marketing exercise to me. Given that Ford chose not to even use the engine in their race mustangs should tell you something.
