forged internals? 2005 Mustang GT

tim10009 · 01-09-2008

i want to supercharge my 2005 mustang gt i would like to have around 500-600 hp . I've been reading a lot of the threads in here and everyone says anything over 450 needs to be forged... is a completely new block needed or can you just swap out the heads and pistons?

Its the crank, rods and pistons that need to be forged. Dude 6hunge is a lot of power. you are not just going to simply slap on a blower and acheive that. If you are going to try to put that kind of power down...get ready to upgrade every part between the radiator and rear bumper. I suggest you read everything you can get your hands on and ask the boss for an early Christmas bonus. It sound like you have some homework to do.

Tim 10009, I apologize if I sounded like a jerk. I didn't mean to. I read it again and realized it sounded that way. Good luck with the car.
