Default Lets Talk Power...

I was just on ModularPowerhouse.com and i'm looking at these Stage2 and Stage3 heads and cams... What kind of power are we talking if you added those to a stock 2V 4.6?

Someone please list the best & safest way to make power on these cars... (what about an engine swap?)

On a stock block with stock internals you will not benefit from stage 2 or 3 cams much. They peak their power at a higher RPM. You redline far before they hit their peak power. However it will sound good as hell.

300-310 RWHP with full exhaust/intake boltons (LTs), and their cam/heads combo (and tune)

Much more if you replace the bottom end, like matt said.

They are talking about the crank, connecting rods, and pistons.

You can go completely insane if you wanted to, but yes. This setup with a stock block should be good for somewhere around 575-600 RWHP. Anything more than that would require looking into someway to shore up the block a bit. Either a aftermarket block or girdle or something. I have not looked into that though, so I am not 100 percent sure.

Honestly I cannot tell what the differnce is from their website. I would advice ya to call tim at modular and tell him what you want to do. He will be able to set ya in the right direction.
