Why is that?
I have had a 98 Tuarus with a Duratec that pushed 265hp, I have had a 99 Taurus with a Vulcan that pushed 315hp and a 96 SHO that pushed 380hp.
The problem is the company I bought the Duratec parts from went out of buisness about 7 years ago and I don't want to supercharge it like I did the SHO and SE.
I am wanting luxury not performance.
As for mods, I have done nothing...not even a K&N.
So if you have a bare 3l engine then a set of MSDS headers, SVT cams, light headwork and intake work in the form of porting, open exhaust, and finally a retune of the PCM with SVT timing tables ought to make the engine produce an additional 50 HP over a STOCK 3L engine.
With an ATX, that may not help a lot though.
