[QUOTE="65sohc, post: 12168716, member: 76360"] Good points. Ford builds in a large safety margin to account for the most extreme set of catastrophic circumstances. This wasn't always the case. I remember when my dad bought his Mustang in 1965. At the age of 12 I sat in the car all night reading the owners manual cover to cover. I'll never forget the disclaimer for the 289 High Performance engine. It had a 90 day warranty because they new what people were going to do with it. Tuners make power by basically narrowing that margin of safety. When Shaun ran my car to 8300 on his dyno I cringed and said, "I'll never run it that hard." He replied, in effect, that he wanted to be sure it was safe under the most severe conditions. There might have been a few more hp in there, but it's those last few that can kill you. [/QUOTE]
