Guys, the comment was meant to just be a joke. The Ford vs. Chevy thing has been going on for 40 years now with winners and losers on both sides. I've just always been a Chevy guy and always hated Fords, its just a preference that only muscle car guys get and there is no good reason for either one. Its similair to the Mitsu vs. Subaru guys thing, even though the Evo is the superior car

. Before my Evo I owned an 11 second 70 Chevelle SS396 street car. Please dont take the Ford sucks comment to any technical length, I was kidding around, I just was never a fan of being ****ed On Race Day

Im pretty sure the guy revs to 8k like I do. Now I just need valve springs and standalone and 9k and 130 trap speeds here I come

I don't know what he is able to rev too, but I think he is shifting at 7200 rpm if I remember another video correctly.
I'd much rather have an engine that will pull me to 9000 rpm with that big turbo. You aren't gonna get a 2.3L stroker up to 9000rpm. A bored over 2.3L maybe, but not a 2.3L stroker
