This was on 100 octane fuel not C16. The car made around 350 WHP on pump gas at 14 psi of boost. I do have a forged motor, but I went to 300+ whp on stock internals.

I don't know about the 3's duratec, but the mazda 6 duratec was designed by porsche. I always think ford when I hear duratec because of the contour and the svt contour.

The 2.5 L and 3.0&nbap;L V6 Duratecs are evolutions of the same design, first used in the 1994 Ford Mondeo. It is a modern aluminum DOHC V6 with a 60 bank angle. The primary engineering input came from Porsche, who were developing a similar V6 before selling the engineering to Ford, and Cosworth, who helped with cylinder head manufacturing.tphskab said:
The 3.0 L Duratec 30 or Mazda AJ was introduced in 1996 as a replacement for the 232 in (3.8 L) Essex V6 in the Taurus/Sable. It has 2967 cc of displacement and produces between 200 and 240 horsepower (150 and 180 kW). The same basic engine is used in the Jaguar S-Type, Lincoln LS, Mazda MPV, Mazda6, Mondeo ST220 and many other Ford vehicles. It is essentially a bored-out (to 88.9 mm) Duratec 25 and is built in Ford's Cleveland, OH #2 plant. A slightly modified version for the Ford Five Hundred entered production at the Cleveland, OH #1 plant in 2004

Both the KL v6 and the Duratec v6 are based off of the same Porsche design which was a take on the winning F1 engine in the TAG/Porsche from the 1980s.
The KL v6 was first, then Ford acquired the engine design from Mazda and put their own spin on it. Mazda was the original owner of the engine technology from Porsche and refined it.
To this day I still don't know if Mazda needed cash or what or how that deal went down but anyway then Cosworth got in on it later on.
From what I have heard/read, Porsche was asked about the design and putting it into a vehicle in the late 80s/early 90s and basically said "We aren't in the business of making V6 motorcars." The Porsche purist execs were still a little annoyed at the popularity of the 944 turbo and 928, both of which tended to outperform their flagship Carrera and costed much less.
