The fact that Ford and GM "controls" their engines differently shouldn't.....really.....come as a shock. Plug an SSs ECM into a GT and see what happens. **DUH!!**

To say that one is 'laughable' and the other is not because of this...is, to be brutally honestly, laughable in itself. It's like arguing a MS Word for Apple is superior to MS Word for Windows because of the way its written.

Twin force is what it started off as and no it is more in depth than your example.
