question about GT stangs

[ooralliartoo]

i dont know much about domestics...but a buddy of mine claims to be pushin 400+ rwhp N/A and he has an 02 GT mustang he's always talking about yea ive got so much power and i eat gas like hell..but seeing how his gas is so bad he can make it from one side of town to the other and back on just about a half tank...which a good 100-120 miles...i know the more HP you get the more your gas is robbed...and ive seen under the hood..looks COMPLETELY STOCK..he says its all internals..so my question is..do you think he really has 400rwhp and what is the most HP you can pump out of a mustang without stroke and bore and forced induction..i would really appreciate it if you helped me out

[DetroitMuscle15]

what town are you from buddy???120miles from the edge of town and back sounds pretty freakin big???..

I think its fairly possible to be pushing 400HP out of a N/A engine..What kind of internal mods does he have..Its kinda hard to imagine unless hes running Nitrous and when it comes to internals i think of forged pistons....Cam swaps...and port and polish

im from jacksonville florida..he wont tell anyone what he has under the hood..its like hes scared to say it..all he says is..ive spent about 30 grand on it...and ive seen a BONE STOCK dodge srt-4 whoop his ass by more than a couple cars...so im really skeptical about 400 plus.....oh yea..he has "19" inch saleen rims..but the tires say 18 inch..he also claims..its a "racing secret" thats BS i know that...i mean if his motor was bored and stroked and had new pistons rockers cams..the whole 9 yards..i might believe it..but i really do doubt it and no hes not running nitrous..really the only thing you can tell is aftermarket would be the saleen body kit and saleen rims...oh yea..and gay purple neons

A brand spanking new 03/04 Cobra Motor is $14K

yea but thats supercharged...the gt isnt

[dampachi]

Simply, no. I have never seen a N/A mustang with 400+hp. The most I've seen was around 320rwhp...and that was with pretty much every trick in the book. 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.

[eillob]

Your friend is full of it period. Theres no way a mod motor is pushing 400rwhp without being supercharged or nitrous fed or turbo'd simply cannot happen with bolt on's alone.

[ooralliartoo]

thanks to all of you..i appreciate it

[emokid15]

Yeah i think hes lying.

[dampachi]

I know hes lying.

[ooralliartoo]

hahahah...yea he was bragging about his car again..hes like yea i smoked this and that...im like y0 i just watched you lose wtf are you talking about

[SVTcobra306]

Bad thing is he probly thinks he has 400 hp. Doesn't even know what a real 400 hp is.

I lost count of the "400 HP" chevies, hondas, and other imports that my traction-impaired ~300 HP Cobra has whupped the snot out of...

[ooralliartoo]

he thinks his car is the shit because he has a saleen kit on it

[duplox]

I believe the 4.6 can get 400+hp N/A... give a little stroke, spin it a bit, it can do it. It would definately have a very noticeable lumpy idle. The heads flow enough, the rotating assembly is stout enough; a good intake, exhaust, and cams should do it. How about this - take a peek under his hood and tell us what color fuel injectors he has... That should tell us how much fuel he can possibly put into the motor. Sounds like he's full of shit to me though.

[dampachi]

I've never seen one break 370rwhp N/A. It may not be impossible..but pretty damn hard.
