The 3.0L Duratec V6 is rated at only 200 hp. The exhaust isn't going to give you that much more performance from 200hp, and the chip, well just cause it says on the box that it will add 60HP don't mean that it will. Have you tested this out, or are you just blowing smoke?

When manufacturer's rate a vehice, it is at the drive tires. Alot of HP is lost in the drivetrain and the shiftkit allows more of that HP to hit the road. So a few come from there. I also forgot about the 70MM throttlebody. Stock is only 55 I believe.
As for if it's acurate at 260, I dunno... It's just what H&H Racing stables told me. They've been around here for 20+ years building race engines for motorcycles, cars, and trucks, and they do own a dyno.

Warranty or not, it goes to H&H. The "Company" garages around here I wouldn't let touch my Briggs and Stratton on my Lawnmower.

Improved induction, improved exaust flow, improved timing and fuel mixtures (via the power chip). I'd bet it's there.
