long story short.

Bought my wife 2001 GT Mustang in 2001.
She put a load of miles on it.
Let my son borrow it for a while. He just dropped it off. From a trailer!!!, Trans (5-speed) Gone!
it needs a new trans. So..........................................I got to thinkin.

Buy an engine and trans that have more power. Drop that in.

I want a firm 600 whp. What I gotta do. Who on the mid atlantic east coast can do this build.

I had a 97 Supra with 646 whp on C-16. So I kinda have a basic idea on what I want.

I just dont know the contacts or the best parts to use. I could use some help.

You wanna be n/a, supercharged, turbo'd? Stay 4.6 or go bigger? Its gonna take some money, I'd say at least 15-20k for that kind of power and supporting parts.

www.modularpowerhouse.com right in GA. They have ALL of your answers...they churn out 600+++RWHP 4.6L cars all the time.
Not only that, they have a very good history of NOT blowing engines....better than anyone I have ever seen infact.

Its going to take a blower or turbos. Cannot be done N/A and nitrous+N/A would take an all out 2V with a 250 shot. You would go through ALOT of N20 LOL.

I had a single turbo on my Supra. I think I want to try a supercharger. Let me ask straight away. With the build can my car run on 93 octane? I do NOT wanna get into a race gas set-up again. Most supra's you see either have a mix or race gas in the tank. It's a PITA. What hp level can be reached with high test (93)

You can do 500's and 600's on pump gas with fully built 2v's with a FI power adder. Personally I would say go turbo, blowers are meh.

^And thats coming from a guy trying to sell his blower! So that should tell you he means it LOL. I have no experiance with centri blowers, but my dad has an 01 lightning and it ofcourse has an eaton. I freegin love the instant part throttle torque . Its amazing and makes the truck feel like it has a very large engine in it...moves without effort.

But with my car, I must say that when the turbos come on....your MOVING. Well vrs what I would be making with a blower I suppose. There are plenty of blown guys that are faster than me. Its just that you get the most HP per # of boost with the turbo setups.

600RWHP is definatly doable on pump gas with the right setup.

I remember many times I wanted low end torque while driving my Supra. if I remember, turbo hit @3700-3800 rpms. In doing that with the HKS exhaust I had on the thing.......it was loud and all would turn to look.........the cops too. So it was hard to mess with other cars other than on the highway.
