they are taking an 07 gt and stroking it to 5.0l. stock it dynod at 265hp/295tq. how much do you think the labor bill would be? i am guessing it will make 290hp/310tq?

Your a little low.
I talked to Livernois on this when asking about thier forged short blocks for the S197 and I asked them if they built any NA 4.6's .They did a few builds ups he said on a stroked S197 3V 4.6 NA to I think it was 302CI (or 298) running 10.5:1 compression if I remember corectly they were getting 370-380rwhp on the dyno. I also think this was with their heads and and a set of cams.

They also did full bolt ons with that, valves, cams, intake, exhaust and tuning. Still NA though.
I found this yesterday when I was poking around on iTunes. I bought and downloaded two of the horsepower episodes that go over the mustang stroker (episodes 5 and 6) but there seems to be a third episode that finishes it off yet I don't know which one that is. In episode 6 (which is part two of the mustang stroker video) they say it will take a few weeks to get it tuned and ready for the dyno again.
After watching these videos, it made me really want to do the same things to mine, but it looked like it would be too expensive and time consuming. Since my car is a DD and my only car, I can't have it down for very long.
I really recommend everyone here to download these episodes (and help me find the third and final one ) as they're pretty neat. You don't have to get them off iTunes either. I only did b/c I wanted them on my ipod touch. Amazon also offers these videos for purchase/download.
The car they're using must be brand spanking new or something b/c it was perfectly clean underneeth. Mine is soooo dirty under. But I live down a dirt road so that doesnt help.

I really thing they broke it. I have looked for the last episode for about 6 months and have never found it. I don't believie they ever mentioned it again in any episode. There was a thread about his last year when the show originally aired.... There is also a intresting episode where they put on some nos and a stang...
Muscle car also had a intresting episode where they built a mustang for speed network and some awards show...

I record every horsepower and musclecar episode and i haven't seen it since the first show either. It looked impressive I really wanted to see it dyno. I saw the nos episode too.

*sigh* I really need to stop being such a tight azz and get cable one day.
I remember those episodes. I don't think they ever did the last show on it. Last i remember they said they had to do a little r&d and then they would do the final show on it. I watched every show for about 4 weeks after and never got to see the numbers.

Yep, a "little r&d". I also think they grenaded the engine.
I emailed them about it and never got a response. I also think they broke that biotch!

I only saw a few episodes and they never finished the project as far as I know. I do know BBK paid the bill on that cars since every three seconds you hear BBK, BBK, BBK. I personally wouldn't use any of there stuff except maybe their headers but I even dount that.

If they're bringing back the early episodes maybe they're soon going to show the conclusion, hopefully. Even if they broke a motor, they shouldn't have a problem finding the cash to buy a spare block.
Hey guys, I know it has been quite a long time but the car will be airing either this weekend or next, only 13 months after the first episode lol. And know, they didn't blow the thing up. Ford threw a few things in the 07 that are different than the 05-06. If you have any questions give me a shout, the numbers are 380 rwhp 390 ib/ft and the cams could still be advanced.
Yeah couldn't tell ya the exact color code, I call it a gunmetal or just dark grey. And to keep an extremely long and frustrating story short, when you replace cams you have to upgrade cam phasers, that memo got misplaced lol. It happens, now it's an .11 overbore and a 9 1/4:1 compression, cams could still be advanced some but we can throw a supercharger on it as is so that will come once i've gotten some miles on the thing. Would love to go with a whipple like your running, think I could be pushin into the 6's if iI do. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3035476 that's my page if you wanna check it out.
Dude please don't put a roush blower on your car. Now I'm not saying to go with the whipple...To which I am partial, but my car has alot left in it..My current dyno numbers are accurate but in a few days they will be in the 480~whp range. I had it tuned down until I got used to the boost and I need to get it dyotuned again to clean up my current tune. But with that said.. get a twin screw blower and thank me later...
Hah appreciate it man, what I want and what I get are two different things when most of the bill isn't yours, so we will see what happens. I'm really in love with twin turbos, but if I was paying for the whole thing i'd either buy a whiple or a kb and call it a day.
