Stock Rod Limit

I have mentioned a couple of times about alternatives to the fueling problem but the way other DI platforms are getting around their problem are throttle body injection or port injection setups. Although the setup is more complicated than the stock fuel system it does allow for better idle and low rpm driving along with an easy ability to change out to larger injectors if needed.

That is a possible solution. I'm willing to try an auxiliary fuel system if that's what turns out the best, but if you add meth/water into the mix as well now you have 3 fuel systems you are trying to keep in harmony.

Ideal for me would be a HPFP and injector upgrade + meth to help give safety/octane boost and clean the valves a bit.

Pardon the uninformed question, but does Ford not release their numbers for the engine specifications and anticipated limits based on the quality of the material and also the engineering used?

they keep it confidential. It's standard practice. I'm not saying that I agree with it, or that I think it's necessary, but that's how it goes. Part of the reason is that many parts are designed by outside firms (suppliers or consultants) and those don't want to release any information. In fact, Ford and their competitors would rather not have anyone know how much work they send to outside companies. It's not good for brand image. There's also general paranoia about their competitors finding out, which is silly because all the manufacturers reverse engineer each other anyway.

The auto industry is old and secretive.

modified HPFP is a lot easier to do than changing injector flow rate, as DI engines are highly sensitive to the spray pattern and DI injectors are more complicated to control than PFI injectors.

Yep, I understand. That's why I said ideal (since at some point the injectors won't flow enough). ;)

I do remember at one point it was mentioned that Full-Race was working on both and had made progress on both. Guess we'll see what the future holds.
