Official ratings:
87-92 were rated at 225
93 was rated at 205 due to cumulative changes that had been made over the years. Ford did this to "true up" their figures.

In reality - 87-93 should be putting down near the same horsepower regardless.

Ford changed the '93 numbers to make the Cobra look better.

They just changed how they rated them. Pretty much the only thing changed was the pistons. In 93 they went from forged to hyperectic, but that wouldn't affect horsepower. They were 225 up til 92, then they were rated differently like said above.
