Who has the best 2.5 and 3.0 numbers non forced induction?

DavidZ hit 249 WHp with a 3L Hybrid that used a set of 1-off adjustable cam gears, custom camshafts and high compression pistons. Not much useful information can be found on CEG on what exactly he did. He did have his own website at one time that showed the whole build but the site has been taken down. He sold the car in 2005 and I don't know who ended-up with it.
mumm brothers(?) 2.5L cougar.
There's a dyno sheet floating online somewhere of my car putting down 231whp by the previous owner.
I am hoping for 230 to the wheels, we shall see.
maybe when it was a 2.5L on spray? I can find out
Goodluck!! Would be nice to see someone put that down but I'll say its a longshot (unless you go all out!)
You are very close. I have a Kinetics built 2.5 and the most I've seen at the wheels is 237. I've tryed a couple of different header designs and did get some much needed torque. The problem I'm having is I can't tune the motor. I need a different management system, I'm still using the Ford computer and had no luck tuning it! But the car runs great!I did a little digging on the Internet and found claims that the Mumm Brothers 2.5L Duratec motor was build by Kinetics and that it put out 290+ HP. I'm pretty sure that output was at the crank since the motor underwent a lot of engine dyno testing. Thus, it was probably delivering a minimum of 240 - 247 Hp to the wheels assuming 15 - 17% loss through the drivetrain.
Best the car has done NA is 220/200 and that was done by me. I believe IF Stabler did it, it might have done that with spray when he did the big shot on the 2.5 before it blew.I have a physical dyno sheet that says 218. There's a dyno sheet floating online somewhere of my car putting down 231whp by the previous owner.
If there's a dyno day event close to me I'll find out for sure what it is.
