if N/A includes a 75 shot of nitrous then yes, it is possible, otherwise as said, no.

With a big cam, higher compression ratio, seriously ported intakes and heads, you could see over 240wrhp n/a but not 300...I highly doubt it.

Enough time and money and you can hit any numbers you want. Technology is on our side. It's possible, but HIGHLY unlikely. I would be he isn't pushing anything over 205-215 hp. If you're stock though watch out, if he's got a steeper gear ratio it could be close...

and it was a 4.3 stoker motor.
i would hope they make more then that. guy on 3.8 has full bolt ons, windstart upper and cam (no heads, no lower), and put down 232rwhp 252rwtq. another guy on V6P put down 239/229 with intakes, cam, and bolt ons.

so a 4.2/3 with heads in addition to these only put down 230?

You have to consider all dyno's read a litte differently they could be on a mustangdyno or dyno jet. Because the well put together ssm 3.8's and 4.3's builds I have seen do put down in the ballpark of 230-250 wrhp. Are those guys probably have some pretty big cams no? But yeah his car wasn't running properly or set up properly or something because if i recall he put down under 200wrhp on a h/c/i 3.8

222/230 is a pretty decent n/a cam for our cars no? Doesn't Tom recommend something more like a 214/220 or something along those lines for most n/a builds. And Matt you didn't specify which V6 in a mustang...a 4.5 V6 could hit 300whrp n/a easy
