noyz25 · September 30th, 2007, 05:29 PM

Whats the difference between them other than the power rating?

HMUSN · September 30th, 2007, 05:32 PM

HessiaN257 · September 30th, 2007, 05:37 PM

Yep, better heads and more valves. 4.6 didnt really break out until the 3v heads.

Only if you forge the bottom. It is my understanding that whether 2V, 3V, or 4V, the maximum hp is the same on all three because of the rods and pistons.

ujslost · October 6th, 2007, 03:42 PM

well that might be the case but were talking about stock power ratings. And NA 4.6s. Not the ones with SC's on them LOL.

right....but it's a lot easier to get up to that maximum HP with the 3v then it is the 2v........

yeah. they take better to mods, its just like when u P+P heads you get more power because you got more airflow into the motor right? same thing

G.T. Rags · October 13th, 2007, 12:58 AM

same in theory, but those two things are completely different methods of a car breathing better

i realize that, just saying that letting the motor breathe easier = easier to make power from mods
