OK did a search no luck. I am looking for another mustang. Looking at a '96 gt, but I have been looking into getting another fox mustang. Thing is I am a little unfamiliar with how much hp these npi 4.6l can make.

How much hp can I get with stock ported and polished non pi heads and a good cam setup, with a supercharger putting out 8-10 psi. I will only like to run a safe amount of boost.

I really want to plan this project out a follow through this time. I usually sell midway through my projects and still have yet to built my dream mustang. I am on number 8 now. I am looking to put down at least 400 rwhp, more like 450 rwhp. My goal it to run a 11.5 flat in the quarter.

with ported PI heads and a PI intake with some nice cams, it will run just was well as a ported PI set up. Ported heads w/ a stage II blower cam and 8-10psi intercooled is enough to eventually trash your rods or their bearings. Definitely around 420-450
