I think/hope the 360rwhp was a joke. w/o a BIG wallet

Thanks for the tips guys, unfortunately I cannot do any internal motor work so a cam is out of the question. I would be building the car for SCCA Solo and run it in ESP so I am very limited on what I can do motor wise. Like I said, full exhaust, throttle body forward and some kind of tune is about as much as I can do. I figured there might be more tuning available with the newer 4.6 motor compared to the 5.0. I was mostly wondering what guys run exhaust wise, tune wise, intake wise. I had some ideas and starting looking around but I wanted to know what is all hype and what isn't. I was thinking a C&L CAI, Kooks full length headers in to some exhaust system. I just don't know what or who to go with for an engine tune.

Well if you are looking for a Solo car Do power mods last.

Yes I definitely know that. I already have a plan for the suspension. Figuring out the drive-train is the last part that I am doing research on. I am not new to Solo, just new to Street Prepared classes because I have always run in stock class.

And an ESP prepared car is prep'd pretty well for track events also, so I would be getting a 2 for 1 out of the car while not cutting up my 06

i wish i would have run solo stock first before i put mods on.. im way to far in with mods..i have no chance of winning in the street modified class. i didnt discover autocross till after all the mods

You guys are right, 360rwhp can never be done.

Well It's ok you can still go out and have fun, try running as a novice a couple of times.

Then you can go and try running in SM. Even if everyone else is faster than you it's a hell of alot of fun.

code3GT did it... with every possible mod, stepped tube headers, etc etc etc and a pretty unstreetable setup. If your doing it on a DD.. prepare to buy a beater to acutally drive around.

so far as the OP's original question, IMO there is no doubt that a full bolton 2v > full bolton 5.0. You will never see 260~ WHP out of a full bolton 5.0 with all the internals stock.

ehhh you might be underestimating the 5.0s a tad bit with the 260whp thjing, I just have a feeling. No proof but for some reason I feel you should reach more with full bolt ons(if you mean heads/intake also of course)

5.0s are DOGS untill you do a h/c/i swap. anyone who has had one knows that.. The only thing that saved them is they are a little lighter

just strictly bolt ons a 5.0 will get left in the dirt every time by a 2v PI
