Mustang gt engine capabilities

Very true LOL, I'm sure there are people with 500whp that one time on the dyno but never drag race their cars or get into boost once every 6 months lol
You can drive a supercharged engine and not go above 4 psi it's whole life if you wanted to. But that stuff is reserved for dyno queens

Ok well im seein anywhere between 400-450hp to the wheels as the "buffer zone."
Anyone know what the buffr zone on 1999-2004 GT's are? Or would they be the same? Cuz im no engine expert and idk how much difference 1 valve per cylinder makes cuz other than that its practically the same motor as 2005-2010 v8's right?

I believe the motors are totally different. They all run on the same princapals but i think are designed differently. I have a friend with a twin turbo 2004 gt thats running 475rwhp without his 125 shot on it. Has been runnin like that for 4 years now and tge motor has not been apart one time since he built it.. It all comes down to the integrity of the work and how good the tuner is.

Another important thing to consider is what kind of RPM you are running. Most of the failures on the Internet occurred when revving the engine well past the original 6200 rpm redline. The rods literally pull themselves apart.

A conservative tune and a forged block FTW.
I used to run the blower on the stock block, with less boost, but always worried about it.
Any engine will blow. It's a matter of how far you push it, the tune, and Luck.

76mm- 88mm turbo
Noticed how lots of folk with 500-600+ rwhp in their sigs, don't post ETs. That is because often, they are slower than some cars with 400-450 rwhp that are a better balance between power and traction.

Race applications only. Way too big for street use. Give you an impressive dynosheet for your ego, but otherwise a waste and counterproductive.

I heard around 500 at the crank but like others here I don't have anything to back that up...
INMO if you have the money that BOSS 302 or standard 5.0 Conversion kit is looking nice
instead of putting in a ton of money into getting as much out of the 4.6 as you can orrr....
get the top end kit and be happy with that..
