I wonder if it's really true that you can get 320+ HP with that package???

I have; you really have to read the fine print for that 320 hp. That is the output for their stage 4 or 5 system, which includes this squarish intake manifold and SC that most certainly will not fit under the taurus hood. The kit you see in the picture is the stage 1 or 2 (I think 2 includes the crower cams) which is good for about 30-40hp at most. You can dl their full catalog to get the real deal behind their claims.

That's ok. 30-40hp added would be a definite up when racing.

u actually think out axode trannies could take that much power 
yes.
I've talked with them at that website before, and the SSX upper most likely will not fit. It is taller than the stock 3.8L RWD manifold, and the stock RWD manifold is too tall for the Taurus...
The FWD 3.8L manifold actually flows better stock for stock compared to the RWD manifold. When I port mine, I am going to do the welding and porting like RGR does to his 3.8L manifolds.
With that said, I dont remember, did anyone ever settle the dispute once and for all about whether or not the cincysho bulged hoods would fit on a regular Taurus/Sable? For me personally it would be so I can put a taller hat on my blower for a little better flow, i'm sure others would find a way to benefit somehow........like getting clearance for a windstar top end swap

The Cincy SHO hood will fit any Gen II SLO or SHO or Sable.
Craig, what you need to do is add some power with one of these....

My car is down this weekend while I install the above prototype. I should be extremely low 13's perhaps high 12's if I can get traction. :)
As for the parts on that page, it seems like another Morana Racing. They are all really expensive and gains are less then optimal. I don't consider 2 grand for 40 horsepower "cheap". Fitting the split port setup to a 3.8 would be much easier IMO and despite what some say, it wouldn't be that difficult to use it with a return fuel system.

it looks like it uses the air conditioning to cool the intake or something?

It is indeed an intercooler and it is installed as of this afternoon though running dry. I'm going to connect the pump tomorrow.
Craig, I'm not sure how close your blower comes to hitting the hood but remember if you use one of these, you would not use the "plate" on top of your M90 and it would not be spaced below it. The way Ford put that thing in there is really back a$$wards.
That and a .540 lift cam should make the beast interesting.

Oh yeah, i forgot about that Plus you woudlnt have to notch the blower snout fins to clear the distributor, AND no restrictive blower hat. Hmmmmm
Right now on mine the blower barely touches the hood under hard acceleration - enough to rub off some of the all black paint :angry: One day i'd like to get one of those raised hoods so I can put a....raised hat on. That and a magnaport II blower for a little fun
By then i'll certainly have some forged pistons by then so ...yeah big plans.
