actually.. i have seen lots of twin turbo's for them... guess its more common cuz of the added under hood space.. hahah. and with some boost and such, those suckers can move.. wouldnt you hate to be driving like a cobra and be beat by what looks like a stock V6?? lol

Actually the 3.8 v6 motor in the Mustangs can handle more power than the 2v's can.

hmm... I believe if you take the circumference of each pistonhead, add the square cubic percentage of the intake manifold, divide by pi then cube the denomanation of the factor you get from the mulitplication of the litres to the valve diameter(times .1) you should get the exact RWHP.

off topic but one of my buddies just got an 02 harley-davidson f-150. i know those motors (lightning) are not forged, but how much rwhp can they support? weak rods like ours or beefed up[&:]

3.8mustang.com has a quick turnaround time for questions, and they house some of the quicker cars. There are quite a few of them with a TT setup.
