It's rated (over-rated IMO) at 220HP and has shown around 170-174FWHP/165-176FWTQ. LAME!!!

Not only would that be an utter waste of money, but you would have to figure out how to hook everything up (Intake, sensors, EGR, fuel rail, wiring harness, VVT, PCM, the list goes on!)

Fairly basic 3L hybrids have shown 175-180/175-180 at the wheels. Basic SVT 3L hybrids 195/185 range. SVT hybrid with 3L valves 205+/195+

Even a straight 3L swap with just SVT cams was ~195/180

I am not impressed at all with either the Jag or Mazda 3L. The do away with all the "supposed" bad areas on the Duratec design and both have Variable Valve timing and are very weak on power output! What a major let down.

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
