In muscle mustangs/fast fords 9/04 issue with the notchbacks on the cover, there is an article in there about some guy that did some upgrades on his dark blue GT (page 192). My question is, with a '01 bullitt motor swap, (major mods being) a blower (13psi) and an intercooler how does he put 421hp to the wheels. i wouldnt think that a blower would benefit the 2v motor that much. i would only expect around 360ish hp to the wheels. i figure around 10hp per 1psi boost. so i assume around 230ish at the wheels stock plus 130. Maybe a little more here and there but how the hell 421hp? If i recall some minor mods being MAF and injectors.

Kenne Bell 2v GT's can put down around 366 rwhp with an aggresive tune at
6psi.

my 04GT is making damn close to that with a 13lb blower. the only other mods being plenum and throttle body, injectors and MAF. made 413hp and 409tq. block and heads are untouched and I still have stock headers and cat pipe.


just so you know I'm not using a KB or Vortech either....... I prefer doing it with the blower everyone on here hates!

I am yet to see a KB put down less than 400hp to the wheels.

421hp is far from unbelievable. people make over 360rwhp with an 8lb Vortech and stock intake.

I think that car had more done than just blower, maf, and injectors if I remember correctly. Its running a good amount of boost.
