Boyles car is a V6 ford SHO engine....I would imagine that the synergy V-8 is illegal for the same reason the ECOTEC spec engine is illegal....dual overhead cam....

Yes, thats right...a $10,000 265 horsepower spec engine is illegal at the chilibowl...because of the DOHC...my car owner was heartbroken to learn this last week after having put a RRE ecotec in his sons car.
