I'm curious as to how much hp my bone stock 2006 GT can handle without having to change the trans or rear end?

I'm looking to be around 5-550hp can I do that without changing much, other than bolt on parts?

Should be okay depending on how you use that power. Don't abuse it too often with 5k clutch dumps and it should hold up.

That should be alright since its auto lol. It'd be for street racing, burnouts, and bragging rights really.

All I wanna do is a CAI, intercooler, and twin turbo or supercharger. I really can't think of anything else I could do quickly and cheap.

If you go SC don't sell your self short. Your going to have to live with what you have. Get EXACTLY what you want. IMO id go probably any twinscrew (kenne bell or whipple).

Twinscrews are great to race, over priced and run too hot for the street. Check out the price on the TVS from Tousley ford under $2000 for the blower and elbow. And remember at 550rwhp you need to be forged or you'll forging sooner rather than later.

I donot know what you mean by sell myself short. As far as manufacturer? I'm gonna buy the best I can afford, as I don't make much. I've only built mild engines before, and older blocks. This'll be the first time I tackle a newer motor and that much power so I really don't know what I'm getting into. I have a decent ranged of knowledge, this isn't my first car, but I don't know everything I should.

I don't know what you mean by forged, to be honest. How much power can I get without changing anything or doing anything special? If I can get at least 450rwhp without too much effort, I'd be happy.

It's going to take some effort bud. I've got a M90 blower, long tube headers, 1 piece driveshaft, CAI, smaller pulleys for a higher psi and a custom tune and I'm only hitting 410rwhp.

I have an 06 with a Whipple and put out 440rwhp and 430 rwtq and no other engine mods and it is fine. I don't drag it or beat on it but I definatly run it sometimes and my stock trans has been fine. Only have 400mi with the blower though.

So I'd be able to throw a supercharger, CAI, and intercooler, and not swap anything out? I'd like to have those 3 things without getting too involved.

Tosss in a tune and you'd be fine. My blower has 22k miles on it.. Hope that helps.
