Do these #s seem a bit too High?

So as some of you know I plan on doing a few bolt ons after I graduate now everyone wants the most HP no doubt about that but most bolt ons 4.6 see around 300-370 HP which is respectable but I happened to found a 2010 4.6 making 402 to the wheels with basic bolt ons now I'm not a pro of tunning so you guys tell me what you think check it out here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRSBni9B_k0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

That's probably a complete set of bolt ons... Including the intake manifold... Im skeptical, but dyno jet dynos throw high numbers imo and those can be manipulated. Hell my Mach made 300rw over a year ago on a mustang dyno and 343 on a dyno jet in town and then 264 on a mean twin roller all on basically the same mods. Dynos are tools, not metre sticks... That's what the drag strip is for.

If he's running Stage 3 heads, Stage 3 cams, FRPP intake manifold, FRPP TB, the JLT 110mm CAI, Full length long tube headers (not kooks, they're mid length on the 3V cars) like ARH or Stainless Works, no cats with an aggressive and good dyno tuner on a cool dry day, say about 50-60 degrees an no humidity, they'll make 400 at the wheels N/A. That's not the only one to do it and there are builds out there for it. It's much cheaper to go with a PD or centri blower and make more than that but some guys (like myself) enjoy all motor applications.

Don't let them lie to you. That car has probably around 330 - 350whp at most, being extremely optimistic.

They conveniently cut the video before showing the numbers.

If this were possible, there would be a ton more 3v's with CAI, throttle body, intake, cams and tune cars out there making over 400rwhp. In reality, there aren't.

lol alright man, if you say so. :whistling:

There are plenty of n/a 400rwhp 3Vs out there.

Oh ok my bad I apologize I misread it what about gears do they count as bolt on

Some would because it's one of those mods that you "just do" but it's more complicated than that since most HAVE to take it to a shop to install so I would so no. It's not a bolt on lol.

But like I said it's all opinion really there's no "set" list of what is or isn't a bolt on. And tbh it doesn't really matter all that much haha

So y'all are saying this FRPP top end power pack wouldn't make the 400 hp all motor this website is advertising?

Ford Racing 2005-2010 Mustang GT 400HP+ Top End Power Package -- M-FR4-S197
In their claims, they say 440 at the flywheel at 7,000 rpms. It also say that it would lose 12-15% to the wheels. This would give you between 374 and 387 to the wheels assuming you only lose 12-15% and at 7,000, which is at he limit of stock internals. So it's a little misleading.

OP said bolt on 4.6. Usually after half of the engine is swapped like that kit would entail its no longer bolt ons. That is why I posted earlier asking OP to post what all his mods are. All this arguing is over the pretense that he has a **** ton done to his motor when he said "bolt ons". He has yet to post anything since the original though.

My 2010 GT Premium is perfect for me, torch red, has all the packages I'd dreamed of having, 1 prev-owner, under 20k miles, except for the 3v. It's not bad, but I like the coyote sound better. And like Kona said it'd be better to save for a 5.0 power-wise.

So now I have to find a 2012 5.0 gt prem red leather HID's 19's race red or build my 3v... Ain't life a b*tch? Haha

There is my 2010 GT brother. It seems like 2010 Gt's are the year that mustang and enthusiasts forgot about. I don't mean that in a negative, putting down way just that you don't hear much from people with their 2010. You always hear 05-09 stuff. 11 to 14 stuff but poor 2010 year.

I feel like its the red headed step child of the retro era. Not exactly a 2009 Gt model but not exactly a 2011 Gt model. :)

Ha no offense taken. They're special... Only year with old motor and new body. Most polished 4.6 3v and luckily the new body (my fav body style of all time) didn't have any issues needing to be addressed.

In fact, the OP of this thread drives a 2010 GT Premium as well. Almost same car as mine except for dark red and he's got a sunroof :(

I'll tell ya what, The 2010 GT is one beautiful pony. The OP could easily have his pony well above the 300 rwhp range and most likely the 330 rwhp area with a handful bolt on mods.

OP, what mods do you currently have or did I miss that one?

Sounds good guys I'm gonna start off slow since I have the cams already I'll install those ontop of the mods I already have with some Long tubes I might get 3.73 gears also I really want a 5.0 but if I can't get one I'll throw the $ I have saved up into the 4.6 and see what I can do from there
