I have seen time and again that going to a higher gear ratio will actually drop the whp/tq numbers slightly. I forget why that is, an engineer explained it to us once, but I have seen the numbers. We're not talking about a huge change, and obviously the car is faster, but in terms of sheer numbers it comes into play a bit (like 1-2% difference). It's hardly noticeable, but it's there so I just thought I'd bring it up for edu-ma-cation.

The aluminum driveshaft also affects the numbers slightly. It's pretty basic -- it takes less effort to spin the lighter driveshaft, so there is less drivetrain loss, which translates to higher numbers. Not a huge difference, but another 2-3% counts (probably 6-10whp).

I think is some some outfit. I guess manufactures figure it doesn't really pay to make them because majority v6 owners would not spend the the money to put bigger cams in. Us v6 guys would just buy the V8 model instead.

Aftermarket pipes for sure but, man, Ford really has finally put some ***** in the V6. I bet it'd sound awesome with a turbo-back exhaust.
