The engine produces 750hp. Minus about 20% hp at the rear wheel=600hp. This car was 8.90 (150mph) through the traps in the quarter mile. The engine was not on the bottle.

You won't believe that I'm squeezing that kind of HP out of a 4.0L v6. I was also surprised to find out that those engines are rated to 450hp as they sit in those Mustangs stock. Ford would've been smart to have the supercharger as an option.
I've got an intercooled Vortech supercharger pushing 18PSI of boost, strengthened pistons, a new cam, some stronger valves, and an 8.8 rear end
The entire project cost me less than 5K, but I still had to work 3 jobs to get it.
