On another subject, the horsepower ratings for the crate engines shown in the Ford Racing catalog are tested under SAE conditions and they do not test every engine they assemble. Just because the engine is rated at 500 hp from the factory, it does not mean you put the engine in the car and go 1.0+ seconds under the index. The HP ratings under the SAE protocol are subjective. I have seen many engines on the dyno making 500 hp and depending on the class they run, they can run from 11.70's to 10.90's depending on the weight, trans and track conditions.
