That last comment was only to answer a PM asking what 'ought' was talking about...
This thread is lost its way in reference to the topic...wandering in badge and loyalty wars
I'm not blindly loyal and do acknowledge preference for GM...if the
architectures were switched...I'd prefer the Ford...
Repeat, I like lower stressed and larger displacement with variable displacement
architectures. Not to say I don't like forced fed, just not for this application
with a small displacement towing heavy. Oh, both direct injected gasoline
That also then allows to force feed it later in it's life cycle and/or
for boy racers to 'enhance' their vehicles... Forced fed small
displacement would be tough to push the piston PSI higher by boy racers...
As to the inter-cooler condensation issue...that has been known to boy racers
since I started hot rodding in the 60's. It is the 'dew point' issue that has
relative humidity/temp/atmosphere/etc attributes (why it only happens in certain
conditions)
Boy Racers have been drilling a tiny hole at the low point of the 'cold' side
plenum for decades
