You can't tell a stroker from the outside of a engine.

Some saleens have GT badges on them, mainly the plain S281.

No it would not made a Mustang incredible difficult in a mustang. The 03/04 Cobra Mades 390 at the crank, and is very easy to drive. Vetts and vipers exceed 400hp, and lot of barely modded 03/04 Cobra's are on the road pushing 500~600hp while being completely driveable. As far as screeching tires, I could do that easily with a V6 mustang, gears and t-loc.

A 240sx does not weigh the same as a Mustang, your 240sx is a much lighter car, and the suspension is not designed for the torque load than a mustang suspension can handle.

Just because it rains heavy, does not mean you can't use first gear, even with 500hp and 4.30 gear ratio. Hurricane season does not mean much, it does not make the water and the road act anydifferently.

The smoothness does not mean a thing, the ruff idle is usually due to a bad tune, or imbalance, or wild cam. Also little 4 banger Honda engines are not Ford V8's, they will idle and act differently. How fast it goes down the 1/4mile also does not determine how well and smooth a engine is.

That's not to umcommong now, lots of mustangs are on the road with single and twin turbo setups. What he wants is very feasable. ALso putting the battery in the truck is also very common. ALot of 1/4 mile junkies do that for weight transfer. Other people that own Vortech blowers have to move the battery to the trunk because of the water/heat exchanger.

No, or very very little.

Most mustang turbo kits are custom, but I have seen single turbo setups on mustangs, with both exhaust pipes running to the turbo, and it was not complicated.

If he raised the compression it would add power without stroking it. Also, if he is using lighter weight components, he can gain power or more RPS's.

If you can visually see and tell if someone has stroked a engine from 4.6L to 5.1L's or just raised or lowered the compression with out tearing the engine apart, then your superman. Stroking and replaceing the rotating assembly is a very stealthy mod. Only the sound would give it away. Also the wiring harnesses plug and unplug. There is no need to cut or use zip-ties.

That's gonna hurt the engine.....

I don't show off my car and race damn near anything. There is a time and place for that, which is usually at the track. OFfer to pay his way.. if he does not accept, then you will know that he is telling you BS, or too scared.

If he modded the car, and spent $5k on a engine, then suspension and so forth, he maybe basing that ont the price of those mods he has.

Not nessecarly, it would depend on his tune and driving habits.




Now I personally don't believe him, but again I am not looking at his car and testing it. But 400rwhp is not possible without using some exoctic fuel, giggle gas or blower/turbo setup. If anything, stroked 4.6L to 5.1 might put down between 300~350rwhp.

Muscle Mustangs did a build-up of a 4.6 modular N/A with 490fwhp.

490 hp to the front wheels...... that must have been quite a project. Thanks for bringing up an ancient thread.

i agree, this thread is prehistoric, but i think he meant fly-wheel horse power

Now...if he gets beat by stock SRT-4s theres no way he has 400rwhp. 400rwhp is mid to high 11s territory. Whereas a stock SRT-4 runs anywhere from mid 13s to low 14s. And detroit muscle you stupid piece of shit, if it has nitrous it's not N/A...nitrous oxide is a power adder. An N/A 4.6 would consist of cams/heads/intake/bolt ons/and whatever other 'secrets' you might have. So yeah..your friend is full of shit. To have 400rwhp+ in a modular motor..you need a supercharger/turbo.

It's a 92 right? a 92 is a 5.0 not a modular 4.6! A friend of mine owns a shop and does nothing but mustangs. He has only seen one N/A 5.0 over 400rwhp it was around 430rwhp I believe. I think it was bored and stroked to 347. and probably had every concivable thing done to it. Im sure the car would have to have a pretty radical cam. does it sound like it runs like complete shit when its idling?

[TheStang00]

dude, look at the dates on this thread. its ancient. dampachi isnt even on the boards anymore, hes banned. read teh rules, dont reply to anything 3 months old or older.

[85 22rYota]

even if he had all internal performance parts its still pretty hard to 400 hp at the rear wheels the engine itself would have to like 500hp to 400 hp to the wheels am i right

[351wStang]

basically

[TheStang00]

Why hasnt this thread died... we need a mod.

[EatonZ]

Why would he be scared to tell his friend what he has for mods? If anything, he'd want to brag about them.
