Default about 03 gt mustang

Um. Friend wants to do a s/c, heads, cam, and shot a nitrous. No forged internals nothin for the bottom end. Wondering if that thing is gonna blow up. Not familiar with the 4.6s let me know. Runnin about 12 or 13lbs of boost. At least a 100 shot of nitrous as well

Its gonna go boom big time. He needs a forged bottom end to handle that set up.

i wouldnt go any more than 400rwhp on it without forging. the blower he can do, OR the nitrous he can do, but he needs to realize he bought a 4.6 2v gt, NOT a termi.

after you tell him all this,if he still decides to go through with it.. i say just sit back and let him do it. it may not blow right away, but it WILL blow. then you'll get to laugh at him when he's asking you for a ride everywhere.
