My '95 F150 300 I6 with 5 speed is not exactly fast, but very torquy. It certainly can move decently when you wind it out to the hp peak (3400 rpm) but not something to be racing with. I'll add that since recently running a couple bottles of Redline SI-1 fuel system cleanere through it, the truck is running better than ever!

Tractor Power!
Thank you Faroffthetrack.
So that is a '95 power curve. Peak numbers pretty close to the book, but torque is nicely higher at 271. But the book is flywheel power and yours is rear wheels? Or adjusted? If rear wheels then what mods do you have? Stick or auto?
