[QUOTE="Fourcam330, post: 2083371, member: 24445"] I'm using logic/common sense. I can't for any reason see Ford going back to a twin rotor Eaton instead of a more efficient (both with regard to power/heat production) twin screw. The inital difference in cost could easily be offset by gains in long term durability. Pistons are going to be near if not the same exact static C/R due to the fact that positive displacement blowers love 8.5-9.2:1 C/R. I don't care what kind of rod it has, they have no bearing on power production at all--they can either take the stress or not. Finally cams, IMO, it would be a waste of $ for Ford to R&D another grind when they have a direct carry over readily available. FWIW, you may have seen the pistons, cams listed as specifically designed for the GT500. Ford also claimed that with the 03 Cobra cams, which turned out to be a 99.5-02 Navi 5.4L intake cams and 99/01 Cobra exhaust cams. I could be wrong, but chances are, I'm not ;-) [/QUOTE]
