stock block

[bobbyoooo]

how much can the stock block hold on a 01 gt?

 

[SilverSpy0]

1,000,000+ hp.

 

[bobbyoooo]

ok good i was planning on throwing some sick stickers on there and you konw they add so much hp just wanted to make sure thnx man

 

[PrjctLxEnvy]

i would think it depends how you get the hp...... im sure a forced induction mod would deteriorate the motor quicker than a N/A build do to the compression but hey idono.. if it helps

5.0s are capable of about 500 or so before they split

The block itself is hard to say- they seem to take quite a bit. The rods and pistons on the other hand not so much.

okay thnx alot guys i was planning on doing the forged internals and i was just wondering how much the block can hold... maybe ill look into the mmr blocks

No need to upgrade the block. The stock iron GT block can take well in excess of 1500hp. Your not going to break it....period.

Now the rods and pistons seem to start getting heavily stressed at around 400+ to the wheels.

i was hoping Chris would chime in he seems to know a shit load about 2v gt's

 

[twecgsd]

The stock block can handle a ton, the internals up to around 400...

Yeah just rods and pistons, i heard around 450rwhp was the breaking point.

Im running 10psi with my blower for over a year now with no engine problems, just other problems lol

Anywhere from 390 on to 450 and your just driving a time bomb lol

 

[02S281]

Yeah some break some don't. I don't really care, if it breaks it will just force me to buy new internals

 

[bobbyoooo]

ok thnx alot guys and just saved me from buying an mmr block

I was discussing this in a huge thread on Modulars Fords and someone brought up the correction factors. This basically make hp equal when conditions arent. A guy running the same mods in colorado at 3000 feet elevation or isnt gonna make the same power as say me on Long island at 100 ft elevation. So when the guy in colorado dynos his car and it says hes makin 450whp its really say 375whp cuz the air density decreases the power but if he came to long island he would make 450whp. My car being dyno at almost sea level has a very small correction factor so when Im makin 450whp its just about 450whp. To get to the point my motor would make alot more power and put alot more stress on the motor then someone at higher elevation making the "same" power which is why so guys blow at 400hp and some run 450hp for years with out issue.
