My 2 cents
After the Nationals and while the 2008 rules were getting worked on we install a 2.0 Duratec with all the NASA approved parts in 2005 sedan and tested the engine with Ford Racing legal parts. At the same time we ran the the 2007 championship car with the 2.3 Duratec in it and the 2.3 and 2.0 Duratec ran nose to tail at Gratten and both cars ran within 2/10 of each other all day. Both cars ran the new Toyo 888 tires and FRPP suspension. We even rotated drivers between the two to keep it equal. We all know how very lucky we are as a new racing series to have the Ford Motor Company supporting all the testing, track time and dyno runs that has been done to develop the series. We are very confident that the Spec Focus Board, NASA and FRPP have put together a great package for the series in 2008.
