I was goin to stroke my 400 for the 500 + hp treatment until one night in my buddy's mod mustang changed my mind . He built the typical ford mod guy motor with a pro charger , dynyoed like 500hp at the wheels . We promptly planted it some guys yard on a 2-3 shift at about 60mph. After the cops, a wrecker , and our wives coming to get us , I had to reevaluate what I was trying to accomplish with my gto. His car is a bear to drive, always has some sort of fuel pressure or computer glitch will trade ends instantly but runs 13s at 118mph! So my new 406 made almost 420hp and 480 Ftlb. Hope I can squeek a 12.90 out of it with 3.90s. I'm getting closer to 40 and had to assure my wife the goat won't do that !
