None of the non-SVT Contours ever came 200HP stock. What's the cam problem also? I don't think I've heard anyone on here that had cam problem yet. UBRF.org , Western New York's Premiere Automotive Forum. Yeah, I got some bolt-ons.

They are talking about the 3L Duratec Taurus/Sable which went from quasidual to single exhaust in 1998 and dropped 200 to 185 HP. And the 4 wheel discs were gone except for wagons IIRC. 1999 Amazon Green SVT Contour (#554/2760) Stock SVT Duratec V6 with: Intake- K&N filter/75mm MAF meter Exhaust- MSDS Y-pipe/Bassani catback Durability-Ford "dual mode" damper, Mobil 1/K&N oil filter 179.2 FWHP at 6900 RPM
