What a load of bull. With a supercharger an ST200 is capable of well over 300BHP. A bloke that works on the proper Ford SVT's as they come into the country has one with a charger and uprated internals that is running at well over 300bhp.

We also have an engine that is currently having a Rotrex S/C set up on it before it goes onto either the estate or hatch back 200 that we run.

For your info the estate has:

Brand new Ford lump with less than 3000 miles on it.
MSDS headers, removes the precat
Fully optimized Y pipe
decat pipe
Full stainless exhaust with centre box removed
fully optimised upper and lower inlet manifolds to take
70mm Mustang Throttle body
full intake pipe
Huge K&N filter with plenty of cold air feeds
Air con totally bypassed with MK1 drive belt
Full electric water pump setup.
Fully set up and rolling roaded on a Unichip

And looks like this:



If in doubt ask Percybigun either on here or on any of the Mondeo forums as the car is well known.

As for Ford having to go to 3l to get 220bhp most of them are putting out circa 235 without any mods at all!!!!!!!!
