Thx for the flow numbers. I found the flow on ls7 heads too. wicked 360 + at .600 thats mad crazy. Also note on that list of rwhp NA cars, all heads and blocks are from Ford. If Ford Modular motors had a rich after market like a ls1. Sky would be the limit. But Only head choice i have is PI, NPI, or FRPP heads. Cobra same story, cobra heads or Cobra FRPP heads. Sure aftermarket companies may tinkier with those parts, but no company has provided the modular a completely serparate block as of to date.

You should know that the LS1 weighs less than the 4.6. If you swapped in an LS1/2/7 instead of polishing that turd* of a motor your car came with, you'd have an even lighter car on your hands.

(*No offense, just couldn't resist the analogy! )

Look in the video section. There is a number a modded 03-04' supercharged cobras getting spanked by mildly modded LS1s. As far as n/a vs n/a, ford doesn't stand a chance. That's why they put blowers on their vehicles and still get beat by chevy muscle.

I say instead of spending 13,000 in a motor that probably won't break the 400rwhp mark. Slap a kenne bell on it and crank the boost way up and then you'll for sure see over 400rwhp.

At least you guys got a since of humor. I'm not playing the "how fast can i go" game, or for that matter beat an ls1. Because no matter how much sink into a car, no matter how fast it is. There is always one faster. So who gives a shet about top dog ranks.

I'm simply updating my motor that still runs with 220k miles on it. Just wondering how it compared CFM wise. Thanks guys for the flow number again.

I'm looking into FRPP heads, 230 ish cams, FRPP intake, and a new built block. My GT has a small missing sound, and it burns oil like a MOTHER #%@@.

Damn, that sucks. Good luck getting everything running right. But shop that against your other options. If you're going to spend $13K, you might as well get as much "fast" as you can out of it!

Nah mine should cost 6k with be bolting it togather. 13k would be 27 blue point aluminum block big bored dry sleeved, (80 rwhp possible over stock block), $,5,000+ block. FRPP heads $800+ a piece, port and polish $900. (50+rwhp), 230 ish cam $600 (25rwhp), Intake $1,200-1,700 (35rwhp), plus injectors, tune $250+, that all alone is good for at least 365 rwhp. And though thats ricers math, we havent even counted Bolt on's. And yes the big bore would make it a 5.0, and it probably wouldnt be all that streetable. Nor is that even excluding by passing powersteering, water pump, a/c. Personally, i'd studied what is possible with money, but I'm just doin a basic short block, FRPP parts. Vanillina89, just dones know his ****, SORRY!!

For 13K you could find an entire 03/04 Cobra or Lightning motor.
Look and you shall find, that is the beauty of the WEB power.

You should shop around. $6K could get you a lot better than 365 RWHP if you go for a non-ford motor...

$800 for badass cam(magic stik 3) that will come w/ the valvetrain to support it and 1300 for stage 2 ported ls6 heads. 250 for intake and about $500 for some pacesetter LTs. With these simple mods on a ls1 your making easily making over 400rwhp.

LSx now has heads that flow over 325 as cast and cost about 375 a piece
assembled they are called L92's

seems like ur dead set on trying to make power N/A with that mod

the way the LSx market is growing now, we are reaching a point where
FI is no longer needed to make 600+rwhp will have that kind of power from streetable day to day engines N/A

do what you want to do. but you really should think hard about putting that kind of money into a 2v. that is a really nice down payment on a cobra if you want to stay with ford.

for the money and power you are talking about it just doesnt seem smart

You're right. And thats why after research, i'm better off finding a Mach 1, or the 07 Boss coming. 07 Boss 5.0 DOHC 390 hp. Don't get me wrong, I love F-body's. I'd rather mess with modular motors for now. I am lookin for a newer modular, and keepin this as my project.

MRR has built a 500fwhp 4.6 liter. So I guess Sprayjunkie just dont know his competition.

Of course livernoise has some respectable Modulars, but I think they lean to blowers.
