Do you think that the independently tuned 07 gt500 with tvs kit from ford could run at redline for 360 hours straight?
This is Fords engine sign off test.

EcoBoost also endured Ford’s standard engine durability test signoff by running at maximum revs and turbo boost for the equivalent of 15 straight days or 360 hours.

The point is that Ford could tune new 5.8 gt500 motor to have more horsepower but it would not pass the durability/reliability tests as well as all the federal environmental regulations it needs to pass.
