Its MUCH more common than you think. I have learned that people with poorer numbers usually just stay silent online and all we get publicly are usually inflated some. I know of quite a few other combos like this that ain't doing what one would think they should. This combo needs another $3000 spent on it to reach its potential.

Dont get me wrong, Im not putting him down.. I just expected to see a bigger number with a high comp trick flow headed motor. Hell bolt on 4.6s are seeing almost 300. I understand theres more to be had, I just was voicing my disapointment.. Didnt mean to have that go the wrong way
Didn't take it that way, its just I see/hear 295-305RWHP coming from TFS headed and cammed 4.6 all the time but you never see it posted on the forums. The best bolt on plus cams 2V I have personally seen was 290RWHP and it had the valves into the pistons. I have seen on the forums people getting over 300RWHP with bolt ons but at the track they run like any other 265-280RWHP 2V. Heck the fastest bolt-on plus cams 2V I know of only did 265RWHP but ran 11.98@113MPH years ago.

With the 2V heads and built the same as a 4.6 they always make more torque and less or the same HP. Its basically a 1/2" stroker 4.6 and the 4.6 already has 1/2" more stroke than the 302/5.0 of yore did.
