RE: High School project!
Yeah I know its not a real big block chevy Its actully the same block that they use in the NHRA'S PRO-STOCK cars and he bored it out to the maximum that the manufactor recommends. Also I'm not building a complete car just a engine for a desk top dyno in my high school engine tech class. So where can I find a forged block, Huge blower cams, great big crank, h-beam rods, twin/quad turbos, some flat top pistons to keep compression down.
This motor isn't really being built just on paper.

Check out Sean Hyland Motorsports for a crazy strong short block.

Does it have to be a 4.6? Theres a Pro 5.0 shortblock that runs in a 6 second(Yes I said 6 second 1.4 mile) TT drag car.

OH yea bro. Some weird kinda forged internals to handle 1300rwhp, a tranny out of a Army tank, A custom intake, 90lb injectors, 3in headers, 4in exhaust, 1000lph fuel pump, A P&P 2.2L KB, and a NX 500shot. That should take anything a N/A engine twice your size could dish out.
All you really need to know is ATI F-4. nuff said.
Any way I need to know of some websites for some bad A$$ forged blocks/cams/internals. Also Can I run a 04 cobra motor with a KB2.8 supercharger with a 500 shot of NOS? Is that even possible?

They have 1000+ WHP modular engines out there now. Hell, that "joe" guy with the ford GT is making 1000 WHP with the STOCK engine assembly and just a TT setup.
If your going for an all out horsepower war dyno style, and your talking about overall horsepwoer (average) and not peak, this is what I would do:
http://www.vtengines.com/low_engines_longblocks.htm
The 5.4L "race" assembly comes with ported heads, aftermarket cams, billet rotating assmelby, etc etc etc.
Then look here:
http://www.turbochargedpower.com/
Or google "hellion turbo systems".
1200+ WHP easy.

So your saying if you could afford a Ford GT you'd throw on some turbos in your backyard if you know how to? If your gonna spend 100+k on a car you damn sure wouldn't wanna bust out with some DIY turbo kit. Tool.

How is he a hero? His car is extremely nice and I would kill to have it but....He didn't do any of the work on it. He's just another rich guy who paid some people to bolt on some turbos. Nothing to idolize there.

But yes that was a good video. Especially the "reenactment" when he lost to the 1300(Hayabusa idk how to spell it)

You have a valid point. But most likely if you can afford a ford GT you won't work on it yourself. And there is nothing wrong with aspiring to be rich. You can't buy happiness, but you can give it a valiant effort.

STFU Zack trying to act like you're smart[&:]. No **** I wouldn't do some ghetto backyard setup I'm just saying anyone with money can have a car like that or something way better. It's sure as hell a nice car but NOTHING to idolize. Any tool with money who doesn't know anything about cars can get that. Now if he did it in his backyard and it was like a Navigator 5.4 then yes I would sort of "idolize" him.
But yes that was a good video. Especially the "reenactment" when he lost to the 1300(Hayabusa idk how to spell it)
