I read that the 5 speeds were 195 hp, and the autos were 150 hp.
What difference on the autos besides the single outlet exhaust? and is it easy to 'reverse' whatever Ford did to restrict them? (just wondering as I now have an 88 TC automatic that is quick..makes good boost(9-10) but doesn't pull nearly as strong as the 86 5 speed I had)

It does make less horsepower, and you're in the right area, but I can't remember the exact numbers. The reason it makes less horsepower is because the boost on the automatic TCs is turned down to a 10psi limit so they don't tear the tranny up. Also, the '87-'88s had a smaller (IHI) turbo compared to the '83-'86 (Garrett T-3).
