At what point do the stock bottom ends of 4.6l 2v start to have problems. Got a stock 4.6 and was thinking of procharging it. Wanted to know if the stock bottom end would hold it. Motor is refurbished so everything is pretty much new. I wouldn't really drive the car hard either, only at the track. Thanks

Thats right around where a procharger would put me.. Is it safe to do..? im mainly asking people who have done a procharger to a stock motor. Thanks

450rwhp and up is when you need to start to pray to whatever it is you wanna pray to.

450rwhp is the absolute maximum (as said above) that the 2v rods will hold. Otherwise I'd start picking out a shortblock. [8D]

I just want 390-400 to the wheels. Then ill save save save buy a forged shortblock up the pulley heads/cam and call it a day .. Thanks for the tips.. Im gunna try and stay below 400 to be safe.. Anyone put a procharger on a stock motor? wondering what kind of numbers they put out..

A guy on here was putting down 417 RWHP with a procharger intercooled kit. Can't remember who though.

Wow thats not bad.. Ill keep you guys informed. Waiting on getting the car back with the new longblock so I can put some miles on it. Then im ordering the procharger and getting it installed/tuned. Thanks for the info.. the more the better
