No, I believe being a bit sarcastic about putting $1k for max of 30 hp, and putting that money towards a supercharger. I don't know how much superchargers cost, but lets say one cost $4000. I believe you net more horsepower for the dollar than the figure he mentioned.

I put true duals on mine and it runs great about to get a edge evo and always run 91 octane and I can tell the difference with just the exhaust and octane

dude, heads and cams $$$$ with the modular motors...........read up on it a bit
not really a thread jack, just one poster getting banged on.........
but heads and cams certainly more than $1k
more worth it on a 4.6, but that is why I asked what motor
especially if you stroke the 4.6.
dont know what type of gains you can get with the 4.6's short stroke and bore, you would need the head polish/port job in my opinion to get the little engine to "breath"
I have been reading up on the 4.6 because I have one.......

X3 on the charger. Scratch this.
If you want engine mods BlownFord, is the guy to consult with about what to get.

drinking my kaffee now too, maybe that is why I went a little too far with the 4.6 mods
but I do know mods to that engine to get the "bang for your buck" will be $$$
stroker would be the most bang, bring me to around 400 + ft lb torque but how do I justify that to the wife?
but now I am hijacking, sorry to the op

stroked was where the big gains came from. If you go that route, get a bone yard motor and go from there
SORRY the the OP again
