Ok so im pretty sure im swapping an 08 3v into my car and i have a few ?'s about these motors

1. Im Staying n/a, what cam's would work good for me? i want the most power possible. i was thinking some BBR stage 2's but idk anything about 3v's haha!
2. VVT is VCT right?if so whats the difference? how do i lock that crap out lol.
3. also whats everyones input on the delete plates?
4. Im looking for atleast 360rwhp n/a.

thanks!

I think ur horsepower goal is unachievable if ur staying NA well almost. If u involve some new heads, cams, longtubes then its a possibility but a lot of cash

honestly...360 is very feasible imho......with cams, long tube, cai, udp's delete plates, maybe heads and an aluminum driveshaft, and a good tune. there are ppl on here getting like 350rwhp with all those bolt ons barring the d/s and heads...

I'm with ronnie on this. It is VERY feasible.

07 GT E UPP

Yep, very feasible.... Before going FI, I was dynoed and running around at 350 rwhp (NA)
with everything here but the heads !

whats bad is that a stock roush blower is putting down like 435 to the crank around 375 to the wheels...and even with all my bolt ons i'm around 20hp less and still saved probably at least 3 to 4k

with cai, intake manifold, tb, headers, off road xipie, cams, underdrive pulleys, driveshaft, and a great tune, 360whp should definitely be possible.

delete plates work well, but if you have the money, the C&L intake mani is supposed to be pretty awesome, especially with all of the supporting mods.

you know, these lil 4.6 3v's are a great motor, they never got the credit they deserved. yeah sure they don't have the power of the new 5.0 but with a few bolt on's they can get really close to a stock 5.0. ford left alot on the table with this engine. just imagine if ford had put more technology into the 4.6 4v engine...i see no reason what so ever why they couldn't get it to 350 instead of the 325 they rated it in the mach 1's. i would love to see ford put out a 450 to 500 hp 5.4L non supercharged 32v 4cam engine...i honestly think the technology is there they just cant show up the gt500s without a blower

I did the frpp intake, hot rod cams, throttlebody, kooks lt with cats, and steeda underdrive pulleys with mild tune and turning out 347 at the wheels. Also did a 373 rear and that makes it seem like a whole lot more power. Doing the driveshaft this week and that should get it there, almost.
