That would make the 2015 Coyote a one year engine and Ford would lose tons of money. It will take a lot of R&D, production, mfg and testing to change the current Coyote to DI. I don't see that happening till at least the 2018 MY. A revised tune with induction and exhaust changes is probably the most that will happen to the current Coyote for a max of 15 HP and very little torque.

The coyote was set up for DI from the get go. It was cut due to cost. The Current coyote is far from a waste a drew heavily from the Roadrunner. Not alot of R&D spent on the powertrain in general in comparison to chassis and suspension.
This being said Ford is in the business to sell cars, and they are selling alot of S550's and that doesn't even take into consideration overseas cars.
I think the 6gen GTPP will have a hard time with the 6Gen SS, even though the GTPP are doing very well against the 1LE's in HPDE and FS autocross events.
