Stock internals, Yes. Almost always though ARP Studs and a MLS H-gasket is used too.

It's not hatin' its fact.... My brother had one and it was a TOTAL DOG. 1. Ford Mod motors have NEVER made more TQ then a GM Gen3/4 V8. 2. The Mod motor ( Triton) has a more peaky powerband then the Ls I think you guys are clumping numbers, the Diesel F250 are B.A but before this year, the F-150 truck motors have been weak.... Does the 4.6 not scream lack of TQ and HP?

SVT wasn't always just for Mustangs, the lightning was an SVT, they made a Contour SVT and even a Focus SVT. As for Ford Trucks, they' re decent but the drivetrain has always been behind anything that chevy produces . The only Ford DT component worth a damn is the 9" rear. Ford Mod motors have been anemic since conception, they messed up by canning the 300 I6. Now that was a tough engine!

The non-turbos are LAME!

It's SRT , SVT is the Ford performance division. Hemi is old tech...

Sweet Ride Twoo!

The LSA isn't a NORTHSTAR and it's only been around for about 2-3 years.....

My dad used to have an X5, now that SUV handled like a car! The only lLexus in my price range that gets me excited is the ISF and for that money I can get a M3...

I guess fast is a subjective term, but at 12psi, that Turbo is WAAAAAY under its efficiency zone. That baby should rip REAL good with about 20-22, much closer to the sweet sport for that compressor map. He's doing the right thing about being conservative wit the boost on stock bottom end.300 whp isn't enough for me in a performance car. Then again, I've been spoiled by big cubes, and well built turbo set-ups.

It depends on what you want, Nostalgia= SCJ New Era= Newer GT500 engine( 4.6Supercharged)

Yea, pretty sweet. Unless its a typo, that TQ seems unusually hight for a Honda. I'd like to see a Dyno sheet of it. I'm sure power under the curve is still pretty weak.

Iconic engines for me : 427BBC 350SBC LS"X" ( any LS series engines) 3.8L SFI Turbo RB26 4G63 SR20 Any M-Power engine

They now manke carb/destributor set-ups for the Gen3-4SBC. Pretty sweet deal and you get the performance of the LS style cathedral port heads.

The Ls1 was realeased in 97 for the Vette, 98 for the F-cars. They only have ONE cam. It's VERY east to get 4oo=RWHP with a cam being the only internal upgrade. It's VERY uncommon to find a ls1 AND T56 swap for 1500. You might be able to find an Lq9 ( 6.0 truck motor) and a 4l60 E ( Auto trans) for that pric. The power is one thing but the proof is in the pudding. MANY fbodies with an auto tranny have ran bottom 12's-high 11's with a nice vertor and bolt ons! They respond well at the track, dyno num,bers dont tell the full story.

Sounds like a pretty trick set-up! As for the blower, I'd go with a p1-sc Procharger. The SC stands for self contained. No need to tap the oil pan or any other pressure oil source. The headunit is sealed and you can change the oil in that. The P1SC is VERY efficient and you dont have to spin the crap out of it to make good poweer. Centrufugal blowers are nice but I'm a little bit biased to positive displacement blowers ( Roots, Screw ) because of the HUGE amounts of instant TQ. I wonder if someone makes a [profanity deleted]. displacement blower for the Bimmer? I've had a TON of projects before my X and have worked on race cars since I was about 14 y/o. the X is a pretty sweet trail rig. Dana 44 rear, E-locking rear diff, hill descent mode and bunch of other goodies only found in the Off-Road version. The engine is based on the VQ out og the Z but is punched out to 4.0.

Will the W.A.R unit give you the ability to alter VANOS? The cams are prob. more aggressive but what are the @.050 numbers v.s. the stockers? Also, I guess you'll need all new timing components (chain, cam gears, crank sprocket, etc)? Are the E36 heads the same deck height? Will you get a compression bump from adding them?
