HOW MUCH HP CAN THE STOCK 4.6 HOLD.
I just got a nitious kit for my 2003 gt and i am thinking about going with a 125 shot on stock internals. I will be going with a twin turbo kit within the next year. i would like to know the weak points on the engine and what shot i can hold as of now.

they told me its hard to tell in the 99-04 mustangs. from the factory ford used different internals on all the new edge mustangs. 1 stang may come stock with domed pistons while another could come with flat top. the only reall way to tell is to take it apart

Rods are the weakest points of out engines. If you're going to run a tt setup and spray you're going to need to build/buy a forged bottom end, anything less and it's a ticking time bomb.

They all used the same pistons,hypereutectic crappy a$$ pistons. Ford's been using them since '93. Like I said before, get a set of forged rods and pistons. Look around for a 4.6 Cobra crank, they're all forged from the factory and can be found for around $100 - $150.

ok so the weakest point of our engine is the rods and pistons. If i change them out i will be good to run both. Whats the max power you seen come out of the 4.6 sohc
