IT's more like 205

In '93 it went to 205hp because ford supposedly came up with a different way of determining the hp. (Don't ask me!) I have a '93 5.0 and it's rated at 205. I have a theory that it went from 225 to 205 because '93 is the year that the 5.0 was built with hypereutectic pistons.

I don't think 225 is far off.
My 91 with 25% loss on cyl 6 still put 206 to the rear tires with mac headers, catless H pipe, flowmasters, and a msd blaster coil.
