I've got an intercooled Vortech supercharger pushing 18PSI of boost, strengthened pistons, a new cam, some stronger valves, and an 8.8 rear end

The entire project cost me less than 5K, but I still had to work 3 jobs to get it.

The 4.0? I think the 4.0 Vortech HO stage rates to 330hp. Still respectable and will leave a lasting impression on your arse when floored. The 4.6 to 5.0 can get 400+++. My Lincoln with the 4.6 was stock 275hp. Did they dyno the car after the parts were hung on the engine?
