I've been looking (maybe not in the right spot) for the dyno results of a stock 03. What's it got for HP and RWHP...for real. Not the ford specs. I know they say 390, but I hear people saying that Ford underrated them for insurance reasons. Anyone got them?

That 390/390 figure quoted from Ford is Flywheel horsepower. You have to figure in about 12-15% drive train loss based on our T56/IRS.

Divide the Dynojet peak by .85 to get the crank HP. A 360 rwhp SAE car makes 360/.85=423 at the crank. There are a lot of bone stock 03/04 Cobras making 430-440 at the crank. I'd say Ford under rated it. This is the main reason why it's hard to believe some of the kill stories when a 280-300 rwhp F-Body walks a bone stock 03/04 Cobra excluding driver errors.
 
"All of the 03 Cobra's I have baselined have been 637rwhp on a loaded dyno, the 04's have been 363rwhp."

Do you mean 367rwhp? I started laughing when I saw that, I know ford underrated them but 637 at the wheels. lol
