History has shown that a dedicated race team with factory funding but the freedom to get on with the job is more effective than when an auto manufacturer tries to get directly involved. Even when Ford started out on the GT40 program, they just kept spending money until they achieved success, but there were a lot of mistakes made.

That is so true Steve
With the Mustang Tunnel Ports is sure proves having a great heap of horsepower (up the top end) and little torque leads to having to rev the engines to bits..

One tongue in cheek quote years later was that with a tunnel port on the dyno doing 4000 rpm you could grab the harmonic balancer and stall it.
