Proof you can get 400+ hp out of a 4.6 2v NA

[2000GT4.6]

We are talking about 2v n/a builds with serious horsepower. He is refering to building a car and was attempting to say that a high horsepower 2v will be a better solution n/a than blower, and that throttle response on a n/a 2v is better than a blower car. Neither is true. For any stated situation/horsepower level above say 350 WHP (below that its not worth having a blower anyway) the blower car is going to walk away on the road course. It simply makes a far far broader power curve while still providing the peak horsepower needed. Low end TQ is a big part of the puzzle on the road course if you don't want to be constantlyhunting for gears. You don't want a few thousand RPM band that a heavily built n/a 2v is going to provide on the road course. Think of all the most successful late model cars on the road course, that is say Z06, Viper, Ford GT, FR500C... all of them have a very torquey engine with a broad torque curve. If your spinning coming out of the corner on the road course you either need a better suspension/tire setup our your coming into the throttle too early. Obivously the more power your making the better the suspension needs to be... but thats going to be true on any setup. Regardless, it would be better to come out of the turn at a lower RPM with more torque than to come out screaming at 5000+ RPM and have the instant horsepower punch as you roll into the throttle. On other cars its going to be different, perhaps I should have stated that for a 2v any twin screw setup is going to hand a n/a car its ass with all else being equal (suspension etc) but I didn't think I needed to quailfy that... we have been talking about n/a vs FI 2v for 8 pages now.
