4.6 buildup 350, 400 rwhp
aright guys so im rather new to the mustang and 4.6 engine arena but not to engine building and i just bought this new 01 vert and already need some more power. with just getting my taxes back its time. im looking to make 350 to 400 rwhp. whats the easiest and cost effective way of doing this FI? built engine? ive built a few ls engines so i know i could do it. anyone have any naturally aspirated combinations that made this kind of power?

JLW's right there.. you'd spend a lot more trying build 350-400 RWHP out of an N/A block than you would F/I.. Though I'd be careful about running anymore than about 8 psi without an intercooler, maybe 10 with.. And that because the stock 4.6 2v's have both cast crank and rods/hypereutectics.. Going F/I, you're safe up to about 350-375 RWHP.. Much more than that and it's BOOM!!

Vortech SQ-S1 I think it is, Bullitt intake, and gutted stock mid pipe = 393 rwhp. Thats my bro's set up. All he did was put a Vortech on his Bullitt and already had a gutted midpipe.

Hrrmmm.. I've been looking at Maximum Motorsports and Steeda for the forged assemblies myself... though all I need are the rods/rings as the mach came with the same forged crank that was in the 03/04 cobra.. Looking back on it that's probably what I should've done first.. lol
And I'm fairly certain the Bullitt's do make a little more power than the stock 01 2v's do.. don't quote me on that though..
