anybody

What is your goal and budget. The 2V 4.6 has alot of potential and responds well to mods, but you need to determine exactly what you want.

for 400-700 hp, hell any hp I'd, well I am going 4.6 forged 2v and either going w/ a kenne bell sc which can do 680rwhp on a gt, or a t76 turbo which can do even more hp. However any ride that has 700hp is not a reliable daily driver. That much power and torque=crap breaking.

^Like crap won't be breaking with 680HP. You will need more then forged internals, like a AAA card, because that tranny and clutch will get ripped to shreds with that kind of power. HP=Money no way around it

It can still be extremely reliable but you just need the correct heavy duty support parts. Braking is a function of speed and mass so brakes are an issue only if you're driving at high speeds, regardless of how long it took to get there. I personally think stock V6s and GTs should have cobra brakes.

i would like to spend no more than 13k for everything not including the car. I would like about 400 with low to no boost but I want to be able to crank up the boost for like a race or something.
