500rwkw if strapped down:spot on:
I guess time will tell if these figures are inflated or not etc. Considering this car with the old engine build engine in street guise pulled a 9.52 down the 1/4 last time making around the 513rwkw mark with a narrower power band range, I'm optimistic with it's new found power it will do just ok when it's next out on the strip :)

The unbalanced inefficiency of a V6 compared to Inline6 and the V6 not being able to take in as much air as the ford engine? Hitting max power at about half revs proves that I guess lol.

Unbalanced inefficiency?? Are talking about the harmonic in-balance because it's a 90° V6? If so it has no bearing on volumetric efficiency. But then you knew that ;)

i think he means unbalanced as in the v6 is a pos compared to the inline 6 in terms of efficiency

Yeah, that's what I mean. It would have some sort of effect on the torque production would it not?
