4.6 is a weak motor, I wouldn't waste your time trying to prove a point NA, you'll only embarrass yourself

 

[BaSohol]

weak compared to.....? lol

Not many cars will push 450WHP on a stock engine coming from 260WHP. AN almost 200WHP jump over stock is plenty strong. Additionally there is NOTHING any other car has done that the 4.6 hasn't. It is an old engine.

As for "well over 400 HP", to the crank, sure. With heads, cams and all the accompanying mods, you would be lucky to see 390WHP.

Compared to an LS motor, 4.6 is nothing NA

I rather LS swap my mustang then make up some BS loyalty pledge too ford

I beat ls1s at the track but it's hard if they have headers or gears.... Then once they are cammed it's over lol they can hit 11s on motor

My buddy hit 10s on his all motor 6.0 gto

Heck yeah!

Termis are a joke now, the new 5.0 is putting down better times stock then with bolt ons the termi can't keep up unless you upgrade the blower

I respect cars that are fast, if you only like a car cause its a ford or it's a chevy then your either

a. Retarded
Or
B. retarded

 

[BaSohol]

Ya they were and are fast but for the price it's cheaper to get a used 5.0

 

[BaSohol]

Once again. I'm not bashing on LS motors. Looks mean a lot. Camaros ugly. Goats ugly. Vettes pretty sexy. GTO's are fat as hell and looks like hell too. Now they are fast. My friend has one, I respect it. I don't like it whatsoever. I watched your video of your goat it sound badass.

I love the look of the 2001 SS CAMARO, t tops.... What put me off from buying a mustang was how ugly the new edges where and the fact you'll never see 12s with bolt on. So I choose a cobalt over a new edge. I would of got a Camaro but they were a little to pricy for used and the cheaper ones were beat up

I'm not a Ford tech or an ASE certified tech or even a sweep the floors of a performance shop tech...just a car fan, avid reader/researcher and a car lover in general.

IMHO- "maxing out" a 4.6 isn't going to be worth the money. I'd sell it, buy a 5.0 (or 03-04 cobra/ls1-2-3etc) and build from there.

Why cobra, same 4.6 with just a crappy IRS and weak uni body

 

[BaSohol]

Who said a new edge can't run 12's with bolt ons? I almost did it on my 02 gt. all I was missing was headers and a tune and I was in the 12's

Almost doesn't count

And there's a reason why when you look up 03/04 cobras on YouTube it's all highway racing hardly ever from a dig

 

[BaSohol]

You can make a 4.6 fast, one of the fastest street cars up in Chicago is a 3v. He runs a blower and nitrous tho

 

[BaSohol]

The op wants to know what he can do to Max out the 4.6 NA, it's not worth the trouble but with full bolt ons cams heads and stroker kit maybe 400rwhp

 

[BaSohol]

Makes a lot more spence then an motor swap.

But that's like maxed out... Cost vs hp your getting raped

Forced induction is the only way to get your money's worth

 

[BaSohol]

You guys are straying away from the OPs question!!! He doesn't want force induction or nitrous

 

[BaSohol]

correct me if I'm wrong but didn't horsepower tv do a build a few years back with a stroked 3v 4.6 with some bolt on's like long tube headers, cai, ud pullys etc. They claimed they managed to put down 375ish to the ground? If he's talking all motor would this not be a viable, albeit expensive option?

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

ok found it, broke down into three episodes but they also had, heads and cams put into the build as well.

375 that's it??? It would cost 6,000 plus easy to achieve that tho

 

[BaSohol]

Head work is the money pit

 

[BaSohol]

Would getting one of the DOHC 4.6 out of the say Harley Davidson f150 or the mercury marauder be any better than the one in the GTs?

Get one from a Lincoln mark VIII they are the highly sought after teskid block
