Also, at that HP/TQ rate, you will need to start worrying about CV joints, Wheel bearings and Gear sets too. Not to mention the obvious rods and pistons.
One thing about this new motor - if they put stronger rods in it we may be able to use them because the 2.5 uses the same rod as the 3.0, including the Jag IIRC. Factory forged rods! laugh
