--------------------------------------------------------------
With a good tune (in progress) the car should make around 450whp. I currently own 3 SHO's and two part cars. This is a fun car. With the cams/blower and quiet yet high flowing Hooker MaxFlow mufflers the exhaust sounds quiet (for what it is) yet mean. The WOT sound of the Vortech forcing air into the motor along with the BOV is quite pleasing to my ears, yet shocking to the unsuspecting ricer. WTF a Taurus?!?
