IIRC Chris made 158 HP at the Nationals - but torque numbers were lower than the Duratecs (as should be expected). So there's another trade off - more power, less torque for the SVT (again, based on my recollections), but also the 6 speed factor.

Based on Leo/Ford's hard numbers, it looks to be pretty even. Just need to strap in a little tighter to make up a couple of tenths ;-)
