6.8 L V-10

Mr5.0 hit the nail on the head, except my machine exceeds 3 tons according to Ford specs. Actually, I was thinking about something like exhaust, etc for the 75 hp's. Since I posted that I realized that I should really up that a little even. I'm not used to having to consider that much weight when deciding how to reach my performance goals. I'm thinking, considering the displacement of the v-10, that it could handle considerably more than 75 out of a bottle. I don't know much yet about that engine design (piston type, etc) but expect it should at least handle 200, maybe more with a variable rate n20 system.
My main goal is to stay ahead of the hotter little 1/2 tons, especially brands x and y on the motor and maybe sucker some tougher competition with the bottle(s). Can't quit the racing bug just because the mustang is on injured reserve for at least a year!
