this has been tossed around a good bit, and people typically come around tyo stating that the 4v is better. well, here is my concern with never really getting my questions answered by any thread i have seen so far. I am almost done with my suspension and my engine will be following. i have been looking into going full bolt 2v, or pulling the motor for a aviator bottom end *same as mach but cheaper* and building it to my needs... however the more i research into this, the more disapointment i seem to have.
here is my conundrum: a full built 2v can make around 320hp (we are talking everything). and a stock 4v can make the same with exhaust and intake.... where i seem to be comming up short is the area of heads and cams. the exhaust and intake paths are fine.. this i can compare, however the 2vs have MPH, VT, patriot, foxlake, powerheads, etc all with proven numbers to go wit them. top those with some comp or vt cams and bam 300hp.
I have seen people toss around talk of 03/04 cobra/mach heads.... fr500 heads... ford GT heads but nothing at all compared with power numbers.... on top of that nothing in the slightest about cams. is this because there is no need to upgrade? ford got it riht? or what.
EDIT:*also, i have read a bit obout intakes... the aviator being the best choise and a "poor mans fr500" over the mach (revised 01 if i am not mistaken) but that it needs a cowl hood. and again nothing about power*
my motor has 127k and running higher. i am slowly replacing everything on the GT so i wont have to worry about it for a good long time (replacing with better gear) and soon it will be time for the motor. so i am kinda needing to findout if these items are just not discussed, or there really is zero information. i'd like to make the most power NA as possible without going big bore or 5.4.
i suppose this is a lot of background that may or may not be needed for a final question of: is there a point of going 4v over 2v for a NA setup. if so, how much of an inprovement and how is it achieved.
Sorry for so long, but i just cant find this info anywhere.
