I'm going to have to disagree with you. In the latest 5.0 Magazine, they built a 4.6L up to 300 rwhp (and then past that even, not half bad), and it cost them $1000 more to do it to the 4.6L than the 5.0L. And I haven't seen all that many 96-98 PI headed cars actually hitting the magic 300 rwhp mark even with all the toys.984.6gt said:What I am ting to say is that both cars need the same mods to reach 300HP, but suprising as it may sound the 4.6 can get there with less money, the PI heads can be had for less than $500 if you look enough, the Manifold is about $100-$200, depending on where you look, the cams are cheap as dirt. And the Bolt-ons for both cars cost about the same, the 5.0 would need at least $800 worth of heads, $400-$500 for an Intake, and $200-300 for a cam that will make 300 to the wheels. Now I will admitt that the 5.0 is easier to work on, but the 4.6 is not brain science.
That should be the end to this thread. Well put Dave.HairyCanary said:Buy what you want, mod it, drive it, have fun, kick ass.

1994-95 GT + GOOD Aftermarket Heads + GOOD Aftermarket Cam + GOOD Aftermarket Intake Manifold + Longtubes + Bolt-Ons = 300RWHP

I dont get how for the 4.6 you can use cheap junkyard heads but for the 5.0 you have to buy 800 dollar new heads?? This is rediculous, Why not buy a set of used AFR's or Edelbrock heads for cheap and then a used E cam for like 50 bucks. If your gonnna do the comparison for cash do it with the price of all new parts man thats the only way for it to work.984.6gt said:What I am ting to say is that both cars need the same mods to reach 300HP, but suprising as it may sound the 4.6 can get there with less money, the PI heads can be had for less than $500 if you look enough, the Manifold is about $100-$200, depending on where you look, the cams are cheap as dirt.

Hahaha, you are a funny guy, you are calling our factory heads "THE BEST". The sad thing is, they are. But the simple fact that thee two cars are comparable wehn the 5.0 is using "THE BEST" aftermarket components possible shows how much potential the 4.6l has, and as far as the 300HP you gave the 4.6L, how about you look at this guys site, he is making over 330rwhp with ported factory heads, and he runs 11.7@116 NA.Seth5.0 said:How about this

HairyCanary said:The 5.0 will not need longtubes for 300 rwhp, so scratch that from the list. You don't need a custom cam, either, a $130 FRPP cam will be just fine. The other numbers are more variable, but I've seen a 5.0 putting down 300 rwhp with GT-40P heads, which can be had for a couple hundred bucks if you shop around.
No matter. Buy what you want, mod it, drive it, have fun, kick ass.
