I do however see some hindrances that have caused the progress to higher numbers to be slowed. One is the HEUI injection system. Granted, the 6.0s have made it happen, but with superior injector design. A second hindrance that I see is the intakes and heads. Haven't dug in very deep, but they appear to be somewhat restrictive to me. All the fuel in the world is great, but without oxygen it's worthless.
I wish I had a pile of money... got some killer ideas floating around in my head that I would love to try.
