Gary runs 475 on Seven and several on that S 197 place are 475ish.
But now I'm hesitating and rwhp or flywheel....
Either way I don't think the internals are much different between the 04 & 05. But the 3V's 2 intake valves with the 1 large exhaust valve + VCT did bump the HP quite a bit. Stock Bullitt is 315 (flywheel) w/CAI/hoodliner. The 2V doesn't come near that right?

No matter what you do, building a mod motor isn't cheap. Stick with the 2V. For what you would spend for a new 3V, you could get a DSS or something shortblock and not have to worry about what it will hold. Plus the trick flow heads for the 2V are awesome
