If you have an automatic, it'll have considerably less at the wheels. Automatics have more parasitic loss than manuals, and Ford AODEs are even worse than the norm. Figure 170-175hp at the wheels for a stock AODE 96-97, and 175-180hp at the wheels for a stock AODE '98<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

20% for autos from the crank to the wheels. 15% for manuals

I've seen as bad as 22% for automatics...<IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0">

Those are all just general %'s. It will vary depending on the drivetrain and wear and tear and even the fluid types used. Everything sounds right.
