It's all in the tune, the 4.6 is a strong block if tuned properly.

Hey racer, are you planning on a forged bottom end soon? Just kind of curious.

yea, once i have money im going a complete forged bottom end, stage 2 blower cams, stage 2 port and polish, upping the boost, and throwing a shot of nitrous on there. i hope to break 650rwhp with all that. thats of course going with a new tranny and stuff too.

im not sure yet.... hahahha. im still figuring this one out....
right now i dont really have any bills and im making over 700 a month (still in school) and i only owe 1k left on the blower right now.... so after that im saving up for axles and a eaton posi i think.. then going with some shocks/struts... and then brakes... after that i will get tranny and such.... probably after a year or so i will have enough cash for everything... motor will cost me around 3-4k im assuming.

Wait a second, you owe a grand on the blower??? Did you finance it?? Please tell me you did because I could be able to get one then!!!

i financed it with my dad pretty much. ive been giving him about 500-600 a month on the blower. although i got a steal on it and it only cost me 2800 for the blower and accessories.
