Maybe some of you guys can help me out with this. Theres this nice '97 gt that I would like to buy. Non PI all stock besides gears, jst what I a looking for. Anyway I want to know how much HP can you get out of a stock 4.6 bloxck by switching to hi compression cams and using ported pi heads.

Any real life dyno sheets. The only thing is I would like to keep the car emissions legal, which I am not sure if it is able to be done. I want somthing different aand though this would be a fun project. Def want to put down over 400 hp.

there s no way to hit 400rwhp with a 2v, I did have a p&p pi heads swap and every bolt-on w/o cams and I only made 271rwhp. You'll be better off buying a blower.

It would be more correct saying 400rwhp on a n/a 2v on PUMP GAS probably won't happen.It is definately attainable on race gas

yea i dont see 400rwhp but i could see around 350 with high compression pistons and all. but it will probably only be able to run on race fuel.
