well after having a rod bearing go out on my 94,000 mile 4.6 I've decided that my winter build is gonna consist of a forged rotating assembly, modular depot stage 2.5 heads, cams,p-51 intake and a nice shot of nitrous. All this along with a built tranny. how does this plan sound to you guys, This is my first mustang, I've done alot of research but if any of you guys have a better idea on heads or which cam to go with any advise would be appreciated.

Also to get this build going I have a brand new, still in the box vortech s-trim tuner kit. I have 2700 in the kit but I will let it go for 2400 and I will cover the shipping cost for you

I'd keep the blower.... With all the other stuff you are doing, just go all the way and blow, stroke, and juice it!

I'd look at the fox racing or MPH heads...

I would love to but I am going back to school and my funds are limited, I would love to keep the blower but I don't see how I could financially

well if you're not going FI, why build it with a forged rotating assembly anyway? I didn't think there was a need to do that, unless you're running ****tons of boost.

cause a big shot of nitrous will snap the stock rods faster then boost will due to the instant horspower and torque. But after a call to Tim at modular depot I think he just changed my mind about the build, he told me with a forged rotating assembly and stock heads that I could make more power with it then I could using the set up above, so I guess I'll be keeping the blower and ditching the heads

exactly what i was going to say. Your heads are fine, new rotating assembly, cams, and that blower will be killer!

think I will still give it that extra kick with about a 100 shot though. Tim says I could make over 600 horsepower to the wheels with the added spray
