That's a "stock" SVT numbers? Sounds about right for the 2.5. Now think about this ... the 3.0L's primary tubes should be slightly larger than those of a 2.5L (ala SHM) ... I predict that if you put 3.0L headers on a 2.5L engine, you MIGHT actually gain a few HP, but don't expect the numbers above baseline that the 3.0L is putting out ... again, this is all assuming that their headers are optimized for flow on the 3.0L. I would also care to say on a 2.5L compared to MSDS headers, I would give MSDS the edge because they are application spicific sized whereas the CPE's are sized for a 3.0L (I would hope). Soo ... thanks for the effort, but I think your efforts will be fruitless at solving the MSDS vs CPE hp/tq/$ ratio debate ... but they will solve the fitment debate. HOWEVER, if those number are for a 3.0L SVT, you have other problems!

GreenNuggs can tell you the four-five month ordeal we went through with SCT and the XCal2, it was all done through Draxas, alot of hype and no delivery from SCT. They did prove they can work with CAN by delivering the S197 Mustang with one, our presence was there, we had Draxas on our side working with SCT, but they just kept putting us off.

Well, they need to get this CAN stuff figured out soon, I think all new cars since '03 have had it.
This makes me think about what it will take to mod my S40 because it has the CAN type bus. There are people that already have it figured out.
I'm hoping my Volvo S40 can share software designed for the new Ford Focus RS in Europes since Ford has seen fit to slap in the new Volvo compact 5 cylinder turbo from the S40 directly into the new focus. It might make it easier to get performance stuff. Since it shares the same platform with the new Focus and Mazda3, I expect a ton of parts available. Although from the frame up they use differen't stuff, things like suspension shouldn't change a whole lot.

My only goal in doing this is to see if they fit or what it will take to get these to fit. The dyno stuff is for geewizz info really. And yes, it is a stock 2.5 and not a 3L. Yet...

Any update on your goal? Because the first production batch (sold) for the Mazda6 shipped out last Friday.
