a win is a win. if you stay with 4.6 you will lose too many times. any joker with a blower wins. lets say you go all out.

you are still looking at 375 flywheel HP
what is keeping a KB guy from doing the same things
KB with your stock motor = 400+HP and 400+ torque. minimum.
i hate power adders, but with 4.6 to work with it sucks.
my opinion. = stroke it if you stay N/A. so muck money. and still have less than K/B
maybe if you have green
build it n/a with intentions for KB. i am kinda doing that. if i am still slow what choice is there ? i have already seen 3v heads on e-bay. maybe that is good idea? this months MMFF has an all out 4.6 3v. what is the HP 450 i think. i haven't read it close. no VCT. repeat no VCT. the heads flow 220 cfm stock. 300+ cfm all out. exhaust seems to be limit. ford didn't allow much room for bigger exhaust. go figure.
i have contacted livernois today about puchasing a 3v cam. they tols me a couple of weeks to a month and a half. i really wanted one before i put it in. 400+ hp and fixed cam timing is real incouraging. maybe wait a little and put 3v's on. read article. hard to beat 220 cfm even with cnc 2v's.
for what it is worth. go ahead guys and kill me over this.
