Is it possible?
I have been reading on here that 450 HP is the limit for our cars before things start breaking.
So I have a few questions.
1. Is it 450 RWHP or crank?
2.Can this kind of HP be done naturally aspirated?
3. And if it is possible to get at 450HP naturally which would be the cheapest way togo FI or Natural?

1. Some say thats the most a stock 4.6 2V will hold up to (at the wheels). In My Opinion I would't want to push past 400 rwhp.
2. No, unless you get a different motor (or if someone makes a badass head/cam/intake combo) you will probably need FI
3. Cheaper (and probably easier) to do it with FI

You will never make 450 WHP N/A on a 2v 4.6L engine.
FI is so much cheaper its not funny.

I think you can count on the stock assembly holding up fine, WITH A GOOD TUNE, to 420-430 WHP. 450 is the accepted max limit, but honestly your getting pretty close to the point of no return at 450 WHP.

shoot man I was thinking of tuning up to 380 to extra conservative, but there is no point if 400 is just as safe... I believe there are few people here that have been aroun 400 for a year or longer, wonder if they would like to chime in
