That's all I could find right now, I'll find more later. You can chew on that for awhile. It's late, I'm tired. Goodnight.
Sorry - I agree the yamaha is a true jewel of an engine, I was more trying to point out to redSVT that the duratec is not nearly the pitiful dog that he made it out to be, but rather is a quite capable powerplant with a whole host of neat little engineering tricks.

And IMHO it's downright silly to compare a 3.0L duratec taurus to the SHO 3.0L, the engines fill completely different design goals and are tuned accordingly (87 octane, 10 compression). Maybe if he ran that 3.0L SHO against a 3.0L jag or mondeo, or even the upcoming mazda 6 I might consider that an apples to apples comparison.

97 SE MTX, KKM, UR UDP, 19# Injectors, SVT TB, SVT UIM, SVT Flywheel, Grizzly Street Clutch, Upgraded motor mounts, mystifed precats, brand new main cat, SVT exhaust sans resonator, 205-55-15 Dunlop SP5000's

154hp / 156 tq before the SVT exhaust, SVT dual honed upper and swapping the mystery main cat for mystery precats.
