Moving to a FPC isn't merely just "switching" out the CPC to a FPC and then calling it the day. The other engine components were re-engineered as well.... including all the way down to the exhaust portion. All due to the new characteristics as well as balance & harmonic vibration challenges. The 32V CNC'd heads also have to cope with enormous stress during >8000-rpm blasts and was reported as perhaps the greatest challenge for the engineers at Ford Performance.

Agree or not... in short, this is definitely not the norm for domestic high performance cars. This is literally an American automaker's avante-garde approach.
