So my takeaway from this is that Ford STILL doesn't test to SAE standards with a SAE witness.
As for if it matters....

Sorry fellas I disagree.
I have seen too many rules bent or broken in business when nobody is looking.
Something along these lines is in the news every day.
Prime example: Boeing was allowed to self validate a lot of stuff on a airplane that has been in the news a lot.... An airplane that had a couple of crashes killing hundreds of people. Then incriminating emails surfaced...
Sorry fellas, I disagree with you.
I'll bet there is very few of us who own the truck we own because we think it is the most powerful or the the one that would be first up a mountain. If Ford or any of the other manufacturers want to have their own standard by which they rate their engine's power output by it is totally fine with me. I guess the guys who are concerned about that sort of thing probably have aftermarket programmers and big smoke stacks.
