RE: Are those Vortech numbers real??

keep in mind that's hp at the flywheel, not whp.

more like 280whp i'd guess, or 10 more than the stock gt.

I guess another question is, is it worth it???? Over$4000..+ switching to premium gas. for that you gould get a GT stay on 87 octane, and have more or less the same power....

if u can afford GT insurance and the gas mileage...which is like 2 mpg different. Then get a GT and you'll have exactly that.

thats still $1000 cheaper then the sticker of a new GT, also 13 second V-6 > 13 second GT which would you rather see?

Get what you want. The GT is a solid choice, fate had it that when I went to buy one, it was not doable. As long as its a mustang, you are good to go!

Hamid recently reminded me that in stock configuration our 4.0L's put down a factory torque number of 240#. Not sure what reading you'd get on a chassis dyno.
