Even if he is thinking 250 bhp it will take some considerable engine work to get there.

15 = 12 rwhp but it's going to be an average, not a peak -your redline is too low to make a lot of peak hp . ..

oh oops haha. I did the 20% driveline loss and just used the 15 divided by 5 equaling 3. I forgot to subtract the 3 from 15. Thanks KS

Nope, shop can't get me in until the first week of December. I would just get a Ford dealer to fix it but that would cost $$$ and the shop is going to fix it for free considering it was screwed up when they gave it back to me.
