This setup is really close to what I have on The Eight Nine, except I have a much better intake. I've always thought I was in the 285-300 RWHP range, and I think I'm pretty accurate after watching this. My rockers are 1.7's rather than 1.6's, and P heads actually do flow a little better than 3 bar heads.

It's been a while, let myself be talked into a 2018 Focus and got rid of the 03 Heritage Edition. Just kept finding more issues than I had time, money, or place to deal with. Drove the Focus for 3 years and hated it. In the meantime got ahold of my great grandmother's Olds:

And finally this week I got a 2016 XLT

Hope you all have been doing well.

I still have the Mustang too. Another one of the "keeps finding broken things to fix." At least the motor is back in and it's mostly drivable now.

ETA: I've wanted something capable of towing that car from my uncle's garage for years. Finally have something. As much as I liked the 03 it was...... questionable.

The Olds needs some TLC too. I call it the Land Barge for a reason LOL. Just floats down the highway at 70 without missing a beat. 50,000 original miles and have all the paperwork including the build sheet/window sticker.

Mustang before the tires and gas tank were replaced. (might take a bit to show.)

Dang, it was like sitting under a waterfall a few moments ago....it was poring buckets. Didn't last long, about 15 minutes. Got a little bit of rain here in the last few days finally...needed it.

Looks nice. I think I remember you working on it.
