If I can get 390-400rwhp out of my GT without forging internals, life is good.

I am living proof that you can do this all day long.

I am NOT down on 2v motors. I do however admit that the 2v 4.6 is not a LS1 motor in terms of maximum RWHP on a stock setup, nor will it respond to mods as a LS1 will.

But... if I wanted a LS1 car I would have bought one.

I am pretty happy with my 415~ rwhp car. It might as well be a different car from my old N/A setup. I am sure there are plenty of street cars out there that will wax my ****, but I have not run into any yet, and I am laying total waste cars that I would have wondered about before the blower.

FI is simply the ONLY way to go with a 2v setup, which unfortunatly is the complaint most people have. Trust me, I know how much it sucks to plunk down 4K all at once on your car. But man was it ever worth it.
