Default 540 HP...How?

Well I was looking to supercharge my stang and saw that on brenspeed they have a stage 4 saleen blower with 540 HP. Would else would I need. Even though 540hp might not be around my budget area.

Would I need a new block or can I just use my old block with this. http://haneymotorsport.com/HMS%204.6...ing%20Kits.htm

did you bother to read the description on brenspeed's site?

"Forged short block recommended at this power level"

seems pretty clear to me what you should get [8D]

+1 and if you have a limited budget in this, stay away from stage 4 kit. Stick with the 2.

Forged internals for sure. Brenspeed and a lot of blown engine mf's know that power isn't sustanable on stock internals.

I've been trying to find info on what I need to sustain 500hp+ but I just don't know what to look up.

Passing 500rwhp requires some extra money to play with 15000.00 -18000.00 to get to the 600-650 mark and if you want to pass go to 700-750 You had better be ready to dig DEEP . I know that for about 5-6k I made 500/450 with my Procharger p1 set up and some days I wish I had it again at 425/380 and still having fun with my car it has been 16 mo since I have driven my car . My point is if you go for to much or try to push the limit then be prepared to pay the price as it is large and you will have down time.

+1 on ebr

I bought my P1SC and pushed it to 550 on the stock block. I blew my block that day my car was down until I could get money to replace every thing that broke in the process plus a motor. I would of had more fun driving a 400rwhp car around then looking at a garage ordiment

I have been going two years on stock block over 500 HPto the wheels.
The key to keeping it together at that level is a safe tune (11.5 A/F) and good fuel. I run 100 octane all the time. Any detonation at allrunning this level power and the little toothbrush sized rods could disintegrate. The other factor that kills these stock motors is over-revving them. I suspect the two Prochargers that killed their motors (above) were exceeding 6400 RPM. Prochargers can make power easily to 7000 RPM. These little rods just cant take that much RPM under boost. I have my shiftpoints set for 6100 RPM even though I am still making power at 6300 RPM.
I will do a forged shortblock some point in the future but I am still pushing the stock block this year.
