Look at the changes made to the Coyote to produce the Roadrunner 302. Why can Ford do all this without the BOSS costing tens of thousands over the GT? The Roadrunner is a fully forged engine with CNC porting and low production yet Ford put it in a car that started low $40s. When I ask why GM doesn't do this, all the replies say its impossible yet Ford has done it multiple times.



That's exactly what I was saying.
Price just a set of titanium rods and valves for any V8. Then any dry sump system.

There is a reason the cheaper cars did not get these. Very little gain per dollar, but a gain none-the-less.
