I thought I heard about the King of the Road or Super Snake model having a crazy-big HP option, like at least 800+.

Isn't PLstang on the backdoor of doing this?
He was pushing 630hp before he got his twin turbos... but that was on a 5.4L motor, not the 4.6L in the GT.

do u have a more detailed build other than who built it? unless.... he does nohting but cookie cutter motors [&:]

i'm pretty sure its a .020 overbore (283ci i think?), billet pistons, manley h-beams, and forged crank, 8 bolt mains, ported heads, stock cams, accufab t/b. that's all i know.

its a daily driver. he had 3 s197 mustang GT's, 2 light blue (one is the beast one, the other's stock) and a red one that got totalled by a dumbass running a light.


here's a video, the car was running a super safe tune and pullied way the **** down. no nitrous. the car was making like 500ish or something like that in this state of tune (only 8 lbs). in the first part of the video he's not even close to flooring it. you can tell when he gives it a little more juice, watch the fuzzy dice. this was all done on MT/ET streets aired down to like 15 PSI, so keep that in mind.

If you are going for that kind of horsepower you won't be driving it everyday. It will be strickly a drag car. I think 500 maybe 600 would be good for everyday. Not many cars going to whoop up on you with 500 ponies at the rear wheels.

I have a 700hp combo being built that isduplicate of one this same shop built a little while ago that will be a daily driver. 1000hp daily driver can be had with the right amount of money. Tge 725 hp version Super snake is being hailed as a daily driver.

The 725 Hp SS is at the crank... figure in 15 % drivetrain loss and you get about 616 RWHP (off the top of my head) and that is very streetable. 990+ though on a DD isn't that illegal? and though anything is possible I doubt it from our cars with the 4.6L motor...
