I'll say it's going to be rated at around 320. I think the DOHC engine Ford is using is fundamentally the old Cobra engine w/ ram air. I've alredy heard good news about the new Cobras making more power than advertised. Paul Svinicki of Paul's HP dyno tested an '03 (Lucky) and it made 360 hp AT THE WHEELS! I figured it out and that's roughly 430 hp at the flywheel. SVT also brought by 2 new snakes without exhaust (only exhaust manifolds on) and they both made around 400 ponies at the wheels which means the exhaust is REALLY restrictive! Obviously Ford is trying to avoid another '99 Cobra incident and they are being really modest with their numbers. Lookout Viper and ZO6!
