it would be nice if you could but.... not happening , Now how hard is it getting 500rwhp with a P/A ?? not that hard (costly)but not hard. Screw the N/A and go with a turbo/cam set up if you wanting to reach anywhere around 500 ponies. Its either 10 grand that route or spend 10 grand building a N/A monster that only pushes around 340 RWHP.

500 hp NA is all but, impossible. ESP. if you are trying that w/ 281 ci/stockish compression. I am not seeing it at all. FI/nitrous is the easiest/cheapest(not cheap though)/most logical way. NA, you need many more cubes and lots of compression to do that.

Mission Impossible is all I have to say. This young fella would have more of a chance than you would on getting 500 hp out of a 4.6

yeah pretty much impossible. im hopeing to be alittle over 500 maybe 550 with a kb 2.1 at 14 psi, 302 stroker, custom blower cams, hooker longtubes, ect... so n/a even with the best stuff you can buy would still leave you 150 hp short
