If exhaust backdated can the US 3.0 be as powerful as the Euro 3.0?
Does the addition of a backdated exhaust on an '83 US-spec 3.0 more or less equal the overall performance of the higher P/Cs and fuel dizzy differences of the Euro-spec 3.0? In short: if backdating the exhaust yields close to the same horsepower for both motors (200 vs. 204 hp), I'm not so sure there's an advantage of a Euro 3.0 over a US 3.0...
...But then again, if one were to have a Euro 3.0 with a backdated exhaust, wouldn't the horsepower be something in the neighborhood of 220 to 225?
This factors in from BA's book, and what I've read on the board.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
