a teksid block will handle what ever you throw at it, no if's and or buts about it.

I know a single 88mm turbo Cobra that runs low 8's maybe high 7's this year with 1300rwhp NHRA with a Teksid block.

thats sweet for a stock factory block!

'01 2V STOCK SHORTBLOCK and I've been running 502rwhp 451rwtq from 18k miles to current 49k miles. It's all in the tune.

other mods: ported heads, aftermarket cams, longtubes, etc...

I asked this question of a friend who has been in the tuning business for over 25 years; without hesitation he said (exact quote) "They break at 420rwHP, you can set your watch by it." If you search the forums you'l find a bunch of tales of them blowing up, in use and on dyno's, at 400 to 430rwHP.

Also consider that Ford was not comfortable building the 390fwHP (flywheel) Cobras on the GT rotating assembly, they likely had a pretty good grip on what it could handle and meet their design life criteria.

I heard from my friend that his friend was talking to a shop in Ohio that is big into 4.6's and they said that the timing is afghani what causes them to go. Something about them jumping time if the chain, and tensioner aren't good that is what actually makes the rods go. Is it true idk just what I heard. Thought I'd post it and see what you all think.

^ it wont last forever. Maybe 1000 more miles or 20,000 but im 90% sure it wont last past 100,000 miles. I would have the cash in the bank for a rebuild ready at all times. Another member jayC has been doing it for 6 years with 500rwhp on his 2v but its hit or miss i guess.

I'm assuming blown. How many #'s of boost?

Scott2001GT · March 21st, 2011, 01:05 AM

yeah i am sure blown...torque is lower then HP. Saw he has a D1sc. The supporting mods help too. Heads, cams, ect.

A turbo car can run a little more power since it's a little easier on the motor.
