I see a lotta people here complaining about the Ford dealership treatment issues and build quality issues, and while I agree they ARE issues, I know you cannot do anything about them, or SVT for that matter, it, to me, is just too big an issue for a skunkworks division of under, what, 50 people to deal with?
Now to my question...as you are probably aware via Vadim at SHO Shop, a Vortech SC has recently been released for the Duratec V6's for the Cougar and Contour. I for one remain skeptical about the SVT Contour's engine internals and how they will hold up to the FI abuse. I know the crankshaft is balanced and forged, ala SVT, but I'm more concerned about the pistons and rods. I know SVT replaced the pistons in the SVT Contour models, can you give your objective opinion on the strength of the engine internals and what boost levels the internals can support if any? I MORE than realize that reliability WILL be affected by FI of any kind, but I'd still like to hear your opinions on this potential issue. Feel free to email me offline with any comments at:

Thanks in advance for any comments you can provide...
