4.6 performance upgardes
well this is my third modular mustang and i think this is the one that im gonna keep its a 97 4.6. I was just wondering if some people can maybe list the mods and horse power that they got from them. im just trying to figure out which direction i want to go with performance.

'97gt 'vert 5spd 97,000 miles
mods listed in sig, havent had it on the dyno yet, so not sure what hp is yet, still feels like a turd with these 2.73's, but def pulls better up to 6k rpm with the pi intake. I guess with the lt's and w/e catted midpipe i go with, and the 3.55's, it should do pretty good. Im not even sure what to hope for, maybe 215-220 to the wheels? anyways, good luck with your '97....

did you get other mods done at the same time too? i've never heard of a car getting 70RWHP from a PI swap.

I can't wait to finish my car. An extra 50-60 horse is going to be sweet!
