So with all that he is only pushing 380HP and on your doing 325HP right now? That would suck to only get 55HP from Cams, heads, and what every else that other thing is. Whats Cams and heads? like $4000+ install? for 55 HP..... hummm

He's at 380 at the wheels. The stock 4.6 is 300 at the crank so with parasitic loss from the drivetrain, he's getting about 100hp out of those mods. Or a 33% increase in power :)

$1850 for Stage 2 heads and $650 for stage 2 cam. That's just the knifing, then I have to figure whatever Brian does to twist the knife, while installing the bits.

I figure 380-385, at the wheels, adding 10% give him about 420 at the crank. With no added weight. I'd like to find out what his torque curve looks like. If he's only making like 320, I'll pass.

This is like a 100 shot of nitrous, available all the time. Or a 5 PSI blower. It essentially makes it so I can't use boost or nitrous without getting into the range of needing forged internals ($2500 for parts only). The 4.6 engine is pretty comfortable at 450hp but beyond that and people see engines that don't last six months.
