Default New Shortblock ordered

Just ordered a new shortblock from Pro Modular performance http://www.promodularperformance.com/ .

The shortblock consists of:

PRO MODULAR PERFORMANCE 4.6 Street Performer $2350.00
New Romeo or Windsor Block
New Ford Cast Iron Crankshaft good for 550hp
New 4340 PRO MODULAR PERFORMANCE ULTRA LIGHT FORGED Rods
New Forged Pro Modular Performance 2816 alloy pistons (stock, .010, .020 size)
Plasma Molly custom fit rings. Precision fit to your application.
Federal Mogul Rod and Main bearings
Professionally Assembly and Balancing.
ARP main studs
New COBRA HV Oil Pump

It also comes with a 1 year warrenty. The compression ratio is going to be 10:1. I am porting my heads right now and installing patriot performance high lift spring kit that comes with .600 springs, titanum retainers, seats, seals, and locks. I am also installing VT stage II cams.

Pro modular performance isn't really talked about to much on the forums. When I called them they really knew what they were talking about. Very nice guy
(Kirk) and we talked for about 15min. Half of that was about what I wanted in the shortblock and the other half was friendly conversation which I think was good because dropping $2400 on something, for me, is kinda nerve wrecking. I really expect their product to match the rest of my experience with them.

I will give updates when I get the shortblock in about 2 weeks.

Sounds Great! I was planning on building my shortblock, but I came across a good deal on the vortech. So next year, ill build it and run 20lbs of boost! Too bad the GT crank wont handle that much or Id just order what you got, I want 650rwhp!

Im going to build my old block up over time for a supercharger but I want to have a NA car with tons of power right now just to see how much power I can make. The cast crank will be fine for that. I may add some funny gas to it this winter so I can show all of those 03-04 cobras my tail lights.

I'm going to wait till its built to talk to him about what he thinks it will do. But I think its going to make around 350-360rwhp with what im doing and what I already have. I should be looking at 11sec runs with a little more weight reduction.

The best I have ever seen out of a n/a 2v was around 354~ WHP, and that was a high compression race gas only car. The car was gutted and setup for track only.

The best I have seen in a streetable n/a car is codes car, making 340~ WHP. Its gonna be hard to top that on street gas and a livable streetable setup.
