What's next?

Shibby50 · May 15th, 2008, 12:48 PM

Ok so I'm new to the whole mustang thing, I had an LS1 but it had to go so I'm clueless with these 4.6 motors I've searched n read up a bit. But I'm looking for some advice as to what to do next.
Mods are
P1SC procharger 8psi
2-core intercooler
46lb. injectors
bassani x-pipe
flowmaster mufflers

Everything else is stock and its an auto. I'm eventually gonna have to forge the bottom end i know, is it worth it to spend the extra cash to stroke it?
And keep in mind its a daily driver.
Any help is much appreciated. open to all opinions since im new sorry

pa.ulB · May 15th, 2008, 05:45 PM

silvergtstang99 · May 15th, 2008, 05:48 PM

Gears/stall, longtubes (need a shorty midpipe), throttlebody/plenum, tires and suspensio.

yea it dyno'd at 390, im hoping for close to 500 by the end of summer, just didnt know what to start with or how much further i can go before i need to do the bottom end, it has 60k on motor

pa.ulB · May 15th, 2008, 06:54 PM

you'll need a new bottem end to get close to 500rwhp

Shibby50 · May 15th, 2008, 10:01 PM

is it worth the money to stroke it while im at it?

whitehorse01 · May 16th, 2008, 02:16 AM

diff. crankshaft with a longer stroke to make more cubic inches of displacement which means more power. diff. rods n pistons too

500hp dont mean shit if you cant put it to the dirt

Your safe til bout 425 rwhp, theres a few guys that have been runnin those numbers for a good while. If you gonna do any hard lauches, which ill assume you will your rear end is gonna go long before your motor. Work on the drivetrain, once thats built up then tweak the motor til it blows and replace.
