I beg to differ . Even though the factory compression and internals were not able to handle forced induction, I believe the block can hold some nice forced induction. Especially the Teksid block built in Italy by the same company that made the Ferrari F1 race blocks. Remember, the Ford GT is using an aluminum block. I believe the reason why Ford switched to the iron block in 03 was cost. They could only afford to use an expensive aluminum block with cheap internal (which cannot handle boost), or a cheap iron block with expensive boost friendly internals. Before the 03+ came along, there were plenty of people into single digit 1/4 mile times with the Teksid aluminum block on boost.
