The HP difference between a 250 ProXS and 300 ProXS is small, not worth messing with.

The real data is in the emissions reporting info. I remember seeing as high as 316hp, must have been the R.

I suspect the I6 may be on the way out and they go up to 350hp NA.

Yes, I agree, it’s pretty tame hp from 4.6 liter. On the up side, it may be more durable than its higher output brother……. (Lazy engine, nothing’s stressed, longer life)
Only guesswork, I’m not a mechanic. 🙂
