Default GT500 what can it handle?

I think i may be buying a GT500 and upgrading it. I've seen a couple guys with 700rwhp+ but is this on a stock engine?

Yes. They are forged and built to handle a lot more than 700 hp too.

MM&FF once upgraded one to do 800rwhp on stock engine...

But they stated that transmission and driveline problems would come in game...

I didn't know that the GT500 engine came with forged internals. The car might not be as useless as I thought it was...

*Retarded Question Alert*

Can you buy/use the forged internals for the 5.4 Cobra in our GT engines?[&:]

I'm still a newbie to this[8D]...lol

I doubt it...

It's like asking if a blower from a GT500 would fit a regular GT [&:]...

Different engines... 5.4 vs 4.6

If I remember correctly, the GT500 has almostthe same mill than the Ford GT.
The Ford GT has the aluminum block, the other one don't.

And yes, it's all forged inside.
