I received a email today from none other than Art Hyde, Mustang Chief Program Engineer, in response to an email I sent FOrd regarding our announced horsepower deficit. This looks like this will be the Ford party line. I have attached the email below. I did send him the URL address to the dyno run of Bullitt #680 on the club website and also a copy of the page from the brochure stating the 275HP rating. I wrote him that the dyno results make it appear the cars are producing more than they thought but would forward him more dyno results as they become available. Will be interesting to see the response.
<<We have done extensive horsepower checks which has confirmed that horsepower of the Bullitt engine at the crankshaft is 265 per SAE procedure. This is the level reflected in all our introductory information. At the rear wheels we would expect you to see 220+ HP after driveline losses.
What horsepower are you getting? How was the test run?
