And custom exhaust. Those things way around 3900 lbs. Wow.

Yea off road x pipe, sorry should have read more. Oh yea they now have a 2.6L kb and 2.8L coming for the cobra. Only graph I have seen is whipple (2.3L) vs 2.6L kb , kb put out 70rwhp more at 3# less boost.

Now I'm not going to get into a debate, cause I don't have one, nor a reflasher... But considering a 03 with a reflash and cai and exhaust has seen 410 - 415 rwhp easily enough. Then consider the original 03 was rated at 390 flywheel/390 torque and put out around stock 350 - 365 rwhp. It boils down to the tune from the factory, is it like mine, it was 10.0/1 af and 21 deg? If it is then we can do a lot better, mine is now 11.7/1 at 23 deg w my 2.9 pulley or 25 - 27 deg with a stock 3.5 pulley and 93 octane in it.

One thing for sure they tune conservative from the factory, and if like a 03 the airbox was too small along with small exhaust.. The cai is worth 10 - 15 rwhp on a 03. I'd be ticked off with the 415 rwhp example we shall see what is right...

Just a reminder the new supercharger is far more efficient than the m112. So with adding a good tune, and exhuat you would see a larger gain (don't forget the better heads and bigger displacemenet)

The bad thing is weight and where the weight is.... It will take some real tires to hook up.

No shit, fat pigs, i can't wait to see the boss when it comes out. Ford is smart for trying to keep the wieght down and horsepower up. It will awesome.

i like my factory light weight. that, and you dont see many Dusters running around here.

I saw one of these in person (red convertible) at a local show in Austin. Ford actually brought it here and had a booth set up.

I dunno, I was rather unimpressed with it overall. I was hoping for a nicer looking product, more refined.

The GT40 right next to it was MUCH nicer
