they were maxed out, hit water jackets a few times and then welded them. Thats when TFS sent out a batch of heads that had wacked valve angles, needless to say it blew up shortly after due to TFS's screwup

I dont remember the exact numbers but I know it didnt crack 600hp, it was 10 years and 20 engines ago. It never got to the track, it was a street engine that blew up in a few weeks. It was in a 95GT.

I'm right around 350hp or so. I guaged this by racing cobras. Except for the supercharged ones I leave cobras pretty hard, as in I get on it in first let off the gas until they catch up nail second pull a couple of car lengths back off the gas again, let em catch up then nail it again. Im not planning on goin to the dyno cuz I dont really care what the exact HP figure is, plus it costs money that otherwise Id put into the car somewhere else.
-P.
PS: I have a new motor in the works for my 5.0 ranger........twin turbo. Supposedly it should make 1000hp.....we'll see.
