Wonder if it's related to this:

Thread sadly seems to have gone quiet lately.

I think it's from a Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe. How they managed to squeeze just 210bhp from a supercharged 3.8l V6 I will never know, but I'm sure you can stretch that a little further.

It's a lot more than the stock Scimitar Essex V6 anyway :)

That's because it probably doesn't rev past 6000 RPM.

My Jag I6 is 4.0l and makes 223bhp N/A with a redline of 5500rpm.

Still, it's not exactly apples-to-apples, and the V6 is probably solid as a rock well past 200k miles in normal applications.
