In some engines you can obtain a higher horsepower by inserting a bigger
micro chip. I know they do this on the big rigs via the ecm. Dont know if
this is how ford does it or not. Back in the old days you would have to get
a bigger cam, run solid lifters and machine the head to obtain that kind of
horsepower.

Ok...let's substitute 'high powered yellow Mustang' for SUV....
make more sense?

I'm getting over 21mpg in the Mustang. Not bad. It's not really high
powered
though, only a 4.6L.

I thought your Mustang was a GT?

It is. The GT has a 4.6L V-8, with an advertised 300hp. I don't do a lot
of drag
racing though. (Although, I *know* it'll do 110mph in 3rd gear - without
redlining.) I've only done that once. That was enough.

Fuel Injected? I didn't know you could push the Ford standard 4.6 L
to 300 hp without altering something major. Supposedly this is Ford's
standard engine package across the product line.

Interesting.
