The deed is done. As to your mention of the aftermarket...that has nothing to do with Ford's decision. This wouldn't be the first time Ford used a transmission that had a lower maximum capacity than that of the engine. As an example, my 1988 GT Mustang was rated from Ford with 225 hp and 300 ft/lbs of torque (reference, one of many, [url=http://www.stage3motorsports.com/c=E7lZOl9C741MMV1xrEYxQ071Z/category/mustang_info.1988_mustang_gt/]1988 Mustang GT Specs, Info, Pics & More[/url]).
