Damn...

S197GT07

Thats a solid STARTING point

lol over 17k for that damn engine. i think i would just swap in one of the new 5.0's rather than spend thatkind of money on that engine. its cool and i bet its a sweet engine. but a 5.0 crate motor would be cheaper.

That's 400 at the crank HP for $4000+. You can get 450 rear wheel horse power for $3500 that's 517 at the crank not NA.

Well OP wants to stay N/A, so the $3500 comment doesn't matter. He already knows BOOST is the only effective way to go.

Exactly. I realize that boost is a very effective power builder, but if I can get my car up to 400 all motor, and then build more off of a power adder? That'll be a badass stang.

I can spend 4k to get to 450 with a blower. Now can you slap a blower on your N/A monster? Yes, but in EITHER case you'll need to forge the internals.

Its a waste of time to get to 400rwhp N/A IMHO.

Without stroking the best you can likely achieve is about 340-350 RWHP while maintaining reasonable reliability.

S197GT07

I don't even think stroking will help out that much.

Yes you will gain cubes, but it will hinder the RPM's you can spin it too. Have to go big-bore.

How many 400+ rwhp N/A 3v motors have their been?
