7500 redline
forged internals
11.0 compression
designed for "all day thrashing"
internals capable well past redline


it's going to be a rotating tank of a motor. the tuners will add 1000 to the redline no problem and make HUGE "tune only" top end hp numbers. this will be the equivalent of what the j coletti terminator motor meant to boost heads, only this time for the na guys

Now that sounds like an awesome crate engine. If it's still 11:1 compression then I can't wait to see how much boost they can hold.

You helped fund the development by buying the old tech!

Hmmm.

Nice Info JB!

Spinning that motor to 7500 to 8500 RPM's

I guess that will make up for the Torque loss!

I can't find anything about forged crank.

Also, not sure about all the 8k/8.5k rumors; Fordvehicles.com says " . . . up to 7500 rpm".

Not that these points really matter; just discussion.

All of the new 5.0L TiVCT engines got a forged crank. The new Boss engine also got forged rods and pistons in addition.

View attachment 209048

The new Boss engine was probably certified up to 7,500RPM yes, but that doesn't mean that's all it'll take, nor does it mean that tuners won't be surpassing those levels in the quest for more horsepower.
