Matt(LilRoush) has a 4.2 but it has a M112 on top so his numbers will be 400+.

What level of 4.2L numbers are you looking for?

N/A and stock they're about like the 5.0L found in the 94-95 GT.
Mine with an NX wet kit put down 423rqhp/442rwtq.
With the M112 on top instead it made even more.

There are at least two 4.2/4.3L making over 900 hp at the flywheel.

I know you got it ported Matt but you never tried a kb or whipple? I mean they are damn expensive so I could see why.

Turbos... yeah, I'll wait for you to catch up once it spools.

And I have looked into the Whipple, and that is the route I would go if I stepped up my current set up. I'm seriously looking into a car upgrade, though.

Billet wheels, ball bearings, and EBC's don't catch up... We insta-boost, the cards are now in your hand

I could understand that Matt. Despite having an awesome Roush, maybe a newer car with more features and a nicer interior would be nice.
