3.5/2.0 EB Crate Engines!!!

Say plug and play system coming soon, the crate motor have been available for while now. But no electronic are available for them, kinda like buying shoes with no laces. But I wonder in the after market has a stand alone ECM to run a DI system? I read article a little while ago about ford ecoboost platform and why they stand out above the rest. As DI motor have been around a while now, and many manufactures use the. Ford response was the software they use to run these engine is what separates them from the others. And it has been my understanding the DI motors have been always a bit tricky to be able to get them to run right.

Well that at least explains why the ECU program is so heavily encoded that folks are having trouble with it.  Kinda like buying a car with the spark plugs welded into the engine block?
 
Nice to hear, but are there any upgrades above and beyond the blocks we are all running?  Forged internals, more aggressive cams, tuning, bigger turbo's?
 
Oh yeah, tial sport turbo's, ATP turbo's, LMS has forged internals, Carrillo and I believe another vender. Cams have heard anything there, but if you knew what you want you could send out your cams to regrind.

Through frpp I would highly doubt it... these motors are pretty stout as is and with fuel still being an issue I seriously doubt ford releasing stouter overall combos

Hell I'm excited for just this... I'd love to put one of these in my old 98 gt vert. It'd be a great cruise car with all that midrange :)
