Really? You should google what an 8.1 does with just the factory detune removed. Then throw a 2.9ltr twin screw on it. I dont think "keep up" are the words youre looking for.

It's down 100hp stock for stock. Stock 8.1 heads are dog shit. They make blowers for the 7.3 as well

No
And the tranny is part of the engine?Yea maybe but, that 8.1 isn't going to need nine grand when it's time to rebuild the tranny.
Come on now.

he was saying that when the 8.1 needs a tranny the 7.3 is going to be having horrible internal issuesAnd the tranny is part of the engine?
Come on now.
because they've been having oil pressure issues, something about a computer controlled oil pump not commanding enough pressure at idle
Captain Call
No
Gotcha. I'm not up on these modern gas burners. Newest one we have is a bit older.
460 for life!

i bet the 7.3 is cheaper than a 5.0 for ford to build. and i could have bought a mustang gt cheaper than my XL f150 4x4 5.0. I'm just wondering if this may be a nice cam update for my 22 7.3.
this hurts me right in the hurts. damnit.
i also thought you need a barrel of oil in the back to replace all the oil it burns through? just burns it right the F off.
does the 7.3 have the oil pump with the internal rubber pickup tube like the eco-poops have?
i swear, Ford hates its customers. 245s under a 800 horses... okey dokey.

Been gone over 7 months. He’s got a 2000 horsepower Coyote now.
they are saying fully loaded it will cost $100k. i bet the dealers add their "We're Ford, fuck you" dealer premium to them and they're closer to $150k.
i looked at the styling and its unoriginal as all get out, and instantly says "we just copied a Nissan GT-R but with a bigger, more obnoxious spoiler. Spoiler Alert!".
anyway, its garbage and Ford pissed on the Mustang name with their stupid electric car thing and Mustang sales have been losing for years in sales to the Challenger in the sportscar realm.

Spoilers are fine. but why does the Boss have to look like a GTR went to vatozone and got every ground effect, wheel well flare, etc to try and make it not look like a GTR copy.

dodge sales are only up cause you have to buy 2 since the first one gets stolen

even thieves know they dont want to steal a Ford that will just break down in the middle of a police chase.

Z06 corvettes sticker 140k-175k depending on the package
. ... so over 100k sounds plausible. The 500 HP GT Dark horse is around $70k base.

If someone is dumb enough to spend 175k on a trailer park Ferrari, they should just buy the real oneZ06 corvettes sticker 140k-175k depending on the package

In defense of the 8.1, the motor was last produced in what like the 05/06 era. 7.3 has had two decades to try and improve something? My biggest complaint for the 8.1 is lack of aftermarket support.

naw man
Just eyeballing it, I'm gonna say the earlier tire data was a typo. Those ain't 245's on the rear.

$340k?
Somebody called it a trailer park Ferrari earlier on and I gotta say, that pretty much nails the styling. Give me a 10 year old Mustang GT500 over that thing all day everyday.

Trailer park Ferrari was in reference to $175k Corvettes

That's a HORRIBLE AI video. There's nothing unveiled as far as I can tell. Everything in that video seems to be made up.

They can over bore the 6.8L version of the 7.3 to get 429 cid
