    What are the most powerful modifications done to the 250?
    I'm planning a full efi with turbo.
    I'm sure it can be done with the right money!

    if you want to make real power a turbo is definatly the way to go

    check out ford six.com and classicinlines.com

    theyre making a really cool aftermarket aluminum head, cams, carbs, valve train, headers, ect

    Latest dyno test using an aluminum head on a 200 yielded a whopping 221 horsepower at the rear wheels. This was using an Autolite 480 and a DUI. It was tested on a Mustang with a T5 which gets 25-28 MPG.

    A 250 is going to yield even more but to date, no dyno tests have been done.
