    Red face Need some 2.3 EB love --- 2.3 Ecoboost article --- + 110 ft lbs and 20 hp

    with minor bolt-ons and custom tune. the folks in the comments are Debbie Dowers. I think that's a damn impressive torque increase.

    I think they could have gone with a slightly larger turbo on that 2.3. That thing spools barely off idle.

    I have had some discussions regarding moving to the 2.3 EB platform. At east so far, I haven't talked about a serious enough deal to make the switch.

    For a custom build I'd opt for the 2.5L Duratec with a GTX3076R, GTX3582R or equivalent. Probably just because I'm so familiar with the Duratecs now.

    No one is throwing money or parts at the Duratech any more though ... If I was starting with a clean sheet I would go Coyote, but as I said there are some engines and packages ”available" to race in NMRA. At least what I talked about so far, came with too many conditions
