What I shoot for on the full street engines is big torque and all very usable..

An engine like Phil's can be easily driven daily and would offer more power than anyone could ever imagine from a pump gas 3.2 base. I am building one now for my 996 using the same combo as Phil's..
Jake,

Is that 250whp on a Mustang dyno? My stock 3.2 makes 228whp on a dynojet (2004 anniversary edition). There seems like there should be a bigger difference for all the work/cost involved. Maybe its in the torque numbers? I realize comparisons dyno to dyno are hard, but what am I missing? For some reason I was thinking that 3.6/3.2 upgrade would produce closer to +50-60whp on the same dyno vs stock?

Thanks,
Mike
