500 Horsepower

hey everyone, just letting everyone know i'm going to start a rather extreme project on my 97 f150.

I'm going to try and squeeze 500 horsepower out of this motor, if you have any input on how to get every ounce out of the 4.6L triton motor, let me know.

On to 500!

A supercharger is one way to start.

Of course you have to tear down the entire motor and upgrade everything and throw those 97 heads away cause the plugs won't stay in at 11:1 compression and 5000rpm which is where your 500 horses will be found. That 500hp will "squeeze" your wallet for $10,000 but will be a thing of beauty. Good Luck

LOL Anything you remove and dont use from your engine, Send em out on EBay or to someone in here. At least you may get some of your expenses returned.
