There was a post a while back asking about 350rwhp. Yes its do-able, but FI would be a better option for the price.

Yes... Over 400 is possible but it starts getting expensive. I am adding a couple more mods next week that will push me up over 350rwhp. After that I will need start digging back into the engine again to get to 400hp+. Last bill from the shop was $5k and I figure it could be another $6k to get over 400.

If you want to keep the motor tractable in normal driving, you'll have to cheat to get it (Nitrous).

Why not just go FI?

I have never liked Super Charged and Turbo vehicles not really anything against the mustang folks but it is all of those other makes that strap a turbo on 1.5 liter motor and put out 300hp. Guess I am kind of old school but I did put Nitrous which is by far the best bang for the buck.Plus it is fun hunting down all those little mods to gain 10hp here, 5hp there..

i seen that 350 post and i posted up a while back about 351.. I was just wondering.. I don't believe in the bottle.. I was taught let the motor do the talking.. It's an idea i like to play around with.. When people ask what S/C one is running and you can pop off and say "All motor" they won't believe ya but when you show them, watch the faces light up.. Thats me though.. Thanks folks..

Im kinda the same way. As much as I want a blower, or a turbo, having a real solid 350 to the wheels N/A seems a little more impressive. Anyone can spend 6k and slap on a blower, but it takes the right parts and proper build to get an N/A motor into the higher numbers.
