That car is pretty badass dude. Glad you're finally addressing the horsepower issue.

Haha, we'll as you know I've got a 3v, and anything except boost is a waste of money on these cars. Finally had enough money to do something about it. I refused to do boltons to this thing.

Being a 4.6 281 cubic inch doesn't help.

i would say the 3v cars make pretty damn good power for only 281 ci.. add a set of headers, ford racing cams, intake, cai, and a good tune they make 350+ all day. i just did one couple weeks ago, wanting to say it made 358 rwhp in the heat..
