It might have been, I know a bunch of people sent cobras back because they were underpowered.

Either Ford over rates their engines or GM under rates their. Don't know which, but it has been going on since Ford stopped selling flat heads.

ford was flat out lying about the power the motors were rated almost 30-40 hp.why do you think the supercharged them. thats why i switched to the ls-1 cars. 4.6 ford motors are turds unless they are superchared.

thats not to bad for that dyno pull, remember that power has to go thru the tranny and the rear before it hits the road..

yes i realize that, but my friend has a 02 ram air and his only lost 10 hp to the wheels on the dyno, thats what i was talking about, i just felt like the mustang should have not been that bad.
