No two engines are really alike. You could have one engine that makes less hp then another. It's not really that uncommon. Then there are freak engines that make alot of ponies.

I think he's referring to the 99-04 v6 mustangs. 99-03 was really 3.8 liters, and in 04, for some reason, they added a .1 liter making it 3.9 L. Thats probably what the change was from. |

I agree, it was completely vague and my explanation is all I could think that he was talking about |

They're all 193 hp for the 99-04s... the .1 liter change didn't change the hp...plus when you factor in cold and hot weather that accounts for way more then 5 hp...

The newer v6 motors have an IMRC (intake manifold runner control). This is a butterfly valve in the lower manifold, which cuts off flow to the longer runners of the split port intake at about 3000 rpms. This is why the motor has a higher hp rating.
