MARZ I've not a new kid on the block. If Boomer knew specifics, he could state them with no "danger" to his source unless his source is the one SuPEr SEcrEt guy at Ford who is the ONLY ONE who knows anything which would unilaterally expose him if information was divulged. I've been on the Interwebz a long time and see this **** on every forum.
I like my job, they like theirs.
deal with it
And you HAD a new kid on the block
It's a good engine to draw comparisons to when discussing BOOST, as the OP is. It's a 4V BOOSTED motor, can you name another engine to draw comparisons against?

I threw a BS flag on 468HP bone stock. The "400HP Mustang GT" has been common knowledge throughout the Internet community, it was not "Boomer leaks". No one would get in trouble unless he NAMED the source. Hundreds of people at Ford know the details, it would be impossible to pinpoint the leak.
You know, it could be that his source or sources have asked him not to relate this information. I'm not sure.

Back on topic, knock sensors cannot do anything about the real problem with high compression motors and boost, which is cylinder pressure. Detonation isn't the issue. Cylinder pressure increases in a logarithmic fashion with C/R. Of course Boomer knows the answers, but due to his super saucy source can only call the "stuff" that deals with this physics problem as "stuff", so us plebs will have to talk real tech for awhile.

I'd watch the tune situation closely for a few months. A lot of guys are "tooners". Being this engine is new as is the ECM programming, let other guys beta test awhile for you.

This platform caters more to the every day people in my opinion. The really serious builders that will complain about the high CR are going to change it anyways so what does it matter? I have a hard time believing that there is a way around 11:1 and a blower on pump gas, compression just becomes to much at some point. Now on race fuel however

Most here resemble that Gary. I think what people lose focus on when it comes to the bigger motor pissing contest is the fact that Ford has always made this car affordable above all other which typically resulted in "less is more." They leave a lot to the aftermarket that most other platforms can only dream of price wise (go on, talk to some cheby owners 
) and they simply allow YOU the end user to determine the final outcome of your car. As long as this car doesn't lose it's affordability I'm all for more power 
It doesn't matter how much power they "give" us, we'll always find ways to make more and break things in the process. Ford does a lot of thing very well but OE has it's limitations that aftermarket does not!

It's me. I'm the magical genie that gives Boomer his info and tells him what to post. You could say I'm very much like Kazoo from the Flintstones. If you have anything to say about Boomer or his sources, you can address your concerns towards me. 
but seriously, does any of his really matter? Can we get back to the discussion at hand??
