how much hp can a 05-09 mustang gt engine handle
im really curious on how much the stock 4.6 3v motor can handle safely
and could you maybe also tell me how much the trans can take and the drive shaft and the 8.8 rear end.
thanks ever one for looking and posting!!

You said safe and that's my safe number. That should equate to 430-460rwhp on a manual car.

Is that the Roush TVS blower? If so I'd say not long. It comes with a pulley that makes way too much boost for a stock engine. Apparently there's no bigger pulleys since the solution people come up with is to add an under-drive pulley to lower the boost.
If the Roush blower you're talking about is not the new TVS, then ignore what I just said.

If the stock clutch is good for 535 HP why are people here reporting the clutch is the weak link and are replacing it with less HP and/or saying eventually if you go FI you'll have to replace it, while their engines are going strong?
Is it the way people drive? Are they slipping the clutch? I've been wondering if I'll have to replace mine in the future, but so far my stock clutch has no problems holding up.

Clutch is effected by how your car is hooking up. Sure the stocker will be fine when you are on street tires since the tires are going to spin before you over power the clutch. Starting burnouts in 2nd gear also heats the clutch up a lot before drag strip runs, so this can cause it to temporarily slip on the run.
