In the 2-11-02 Autoweek there's an article about the new Cobra. "John Coletti, chief engineer at Ford SVT, says output could exceed those numbers (390HP and 390 torque) by the time the car reaches showrooms in early summer. But for now, SVT would rather under-promise and over-deliver than risk a repeat of the infamous horsepower gaffe of 1999, in which Ford stopped selling the car until it could boost output to advertised levels." I'm sure this applied to our cars when they posted 265 HP. I believe our Bullitt's are closer to 285.

Yeah 275 is about right,depending on what percentage of power lost factor,you use. The only way to know is to put one on a engine dyno,and test to Fords specs. I think that the Bullitt intake is a bit under used,or flows better than the heads allow,on the stock Bullitt engine.....If we only had some more cubes!!

mine dynoed 241rwhp/280rwtq bonestock with 6700 miles:



thats definitely underated assuming a 15% drivetrain loss:

241/.85 = 283.5 crank hp
280/.85 = 329.4 crank tq
