Not sure about WHP, but those are rated at 390 at the crank I believe. They usually suffer a 20% reduction from crank to the wheels so I'll let you do the math. And they are supposedly capable of low 13s with a good driver.

I've heard cases of guys throwing down #'s in the 365-375rwhp range stock! But I'd like to say at the wheels your hitting 350-360 give or take a few. And low 13's with a good driver? Ummm I hope that's a joke. Mid-High 12's with a good driver sounds right...

No your right! 13's on a 390hp S/C Cobra is disgusting. 13's is with grandma driving...

I've seen stock 03-04s put down 386 to the wheels, hell I think it was in MM&FF a year or so ago. They removed all the restrictive intake crap (free mod) and put over 390 to the wheels. lol

Ford and their underrating of engines...
