5.0 engine teardown at Livernois Motorsports
Pretty impressive peak flow numbers, did he happen to post any low or mid lift data? Thats where multi-valve heads really shine.
IIRC six sigma is just 5S with another S - Safety - added to the end. I am technically a green belt but I haven't touched that **** in a long time. Isn't it like sort, shine, spank, squeeze and swallow or something like that?
I hate 6S. I hate AirSpeed too, that's the gay version the Navy came up with for us. If I ever hear the word "Kaizen" again...

We're getting closer!
We finalized our piston design and we're working on a standard stroke and stroker crankshaft.

That new piston looks bad-***! Now that you guys have had some time to play with the tuning, I cant wait to see what stronger internals and upgraded valvetrain components can yield N/A. I can see a 8500+ RPM screamer coming...

a certain engineer (that comes over to your house all the time and eat's at your BBQ's) says the ECU cant handle that high of RPM, fuel delivery gets all weird as the processor cant keep up with senor data from the crank and cam and they get outta phase

Did this certain BBQ-eating engineer say what if anything Ford was hoping to do about it?
