OK I gotcha now. I have always been told that 205 -225 is a number Ford threw out there just to make it sound good for them. My one buddys dad who has a 93LX told me the same, around 190. Whatever, it feels good driving it.
225 is the Hp rating from the flywheel. Your dad's friend says 190 it would be Hp rating at the wheels. The difference is in Hp lost through the trans, rear end etc.
