400 horsepower?

Is it possible to stay normally aspirated and get 400 HP out of an '08/'09 Bullitt? Headers, tune, exhaust, etc?

don't think so. you can get close at the crank with cams, exhaust, CAI, tune, underdrive pullys. I believe but not RWHP. not without stroking

Cool

400 RWHP?
If you could do it...
I assume you would need enough mods to the engine that it might be cheaper to just put a blower on anyway.

Stroker kit, higher compression, cams, ported heads could get you to 400 HP

it's possible, but you need to dig into the engine.
I've seen 365hp to the ground with heads/cams + full bolt on's

I've researched this to death because I wondered the same thing. It is much cheaper to go the forced induction route.

When I tripped the 325 RWHP My Bullitt turned into a different beast!!!! I am running 340rwhp/325rwtq now. The only mod's Im thinking about the CMDP's to try to get rid of the "pinging".
400 rwhp would be cool, But with 325 rwhp and more traction become an issue!!!

I agree... go with the boost.. I'm getting 450 RWHP w/ Kenne Bell w/10# boost...that comes out to about 520 BHP at the flywheel..
