decided I need to do something fun this winter, so I installed a S-trim vortech on my stang and some 18x9/10 fr500s with 305/35 nitto dr's on the rear. I will get some better close up shots when it stop raining.

Tunning was done by Bob Kurgan, he's a really nice guy and he sure did help me out! It was fun to do though.

Sweet man! Can you go more than 8.5psi with meth? I would think with meth, you could go a little higher, even on a 2V car. 10-11 psi?

Very nice car and good numbers! Oh and the old myth isnt true anymore I have always heard 400 is the most you want on the stock bottom end, over on Modularforums there are several guys running stock bottom ends running 450-525hp at the wheels. Its all in the tune. These modulars are stronger then some think....BUT if you have a iffy or off tune, they will go kaboom easier at 450+ but you can get into the 400's with no worries Its all in the tune!

I agree with you on the tune, it's a Bob Kurgan tune so I am good to go!

I hear so many stories, and witness this too, somewhere between 400-450 will survive, but for how long? I'd rather have years of fun with it rather than push it to the limit and have to build a short block. Plus I think if I spend any more than gas money on the car this month my girlfriend will leave me

+1 there are guys on here with 450+rwhp on the stock block...more importantly i think a lot of it depends on how good of a driver you are

500 n/a is not possiable. Stroked to a 5.0 with PP heads and balenced and bluprinted with a hilborn injection system and it will pop out 471 hp. Thats about the most you can get out of them
