If you use the 2.3 Ecoboost found in the Focus RS a a loose guide. I can see a easy 760hp out of the 5.2 V-8. I know the 2.3 uses a turbo. But I'm stating this in terms of reliability.No, it won't. Also you're not considering the durability of everything else downstream. Ford has to provide a stupid fast, capable track-focused car with a warranty. The engine may be (and has been said as much) capable of well over 800 crank HP, but that doesn't mean that the transmission and rear axle would be to the stringent durability cycles they must meet. Anyone can make it work for a little while, so don't look at forum anecdotes of Whippled cars as counterpoints.
But who knows......Speaking of myself, I can only guess.
