i've heard 400 hp was about the limit on these cast engines but i thought they meant 400 hp at the crank. My engine's at 382 already and won't take much more to be at the breaking limit right? or is that 450 rwhp your talking? and I have a 3.00 and a 2.85 pulley. Would i have to retune it if I swapped? the guy said he would only charge $150 if i went back but i'd rather not.

Everyone thinks you have a Mach 1.. they think you only gained 30whp with a S/c and stuff lol.. No one is Reading ur Signature... Plus the way you are listing all of your posts, (MACH 1 Convertible DYNO RESULTS) At least say ' FACH 1 Dyno Results" You are confusing people....
and there are MANY MANY MANY people with 400whp GT's(stock Motor) rolling around. But its your Preference to what HP you want your car... You can get ALOT more out of it if you want. But i havnt heard very many good things about the S/c u are using

yes and no. I built it for power but to still have reliability, driveability, and good mpg. where as you can't have both, I found a happy medium. But even with the low hp i have, my tire spins the whole way through 1st and fishtails 2nd even at half throttle. Why would I want more than that on a daily driver street car? My goal was to look and drive like a stock mach because I think they're cool looking. I would have bought a mach but I like convertibles for the "B's". I have reached my goal and am done with ford. Time to grow up and move on to a Chevy.

I do think they're cool but I admire an engine that can easily make 500 hp without forced induction. an 02 z06 will definately be my next buy. i graduate in 2010 and get my 2lt bar so i'll make that my grad gift to myself. At 22 yrs. old, i aint complaining.

If I keep the RPM's between 2-3,000 I get 25-26 MPG HYWY.
Sure, it will light up the first three gears if I get into a little boost.
'97 Saleen Cobra w/ Vortech SC.
About 550 rwhp @ 10 LBS. of Boost. It is just S-O-O-O Hard, to stay off of the
"Happy Pedal!"
If it is DRIVEN, I get around 17-18 MPG.
(I can live with that.)

P.S. Turn up the Boost! LIVE!
