350 rwhp is pretty steep for a NA motor, at least in my mind it is. unless u get the tuning and everything perfect. but correct me if im wrong.

I'd love to know how you think you're going to get 350 rwhp out of a 4.2 V6 N/A.

TJ is at 270ish and he's running 8psi... but that is a stock engine. I would love to see it though!

4.6 3V S197 Mustangs, like mine, get around 360 rwhp with full bolt ons and a set of cams. The 4.6 3V motor in the S197s is one strong motor as well. Also they are putting out about 450-500 rwhp with forced induction. I'm sorry to shoot it down but I don't think your 4.2L 2V is going to come close to those numbers. The 3.8 V6 found in the "new edge" Mustangs is actually able to put out larger numbers than the 4.2L with forced induction. The 4.2L doesn't really put out that big of gains with mods. I'm not putting it down or making fun of anyone so don't take it wrong, either. Just being informative.

No, the "new edge" is the previous body style, and they had a 3.8L. Sorry about the confusion. The new S197 has a 4.0, correct, my girlfriend has one. Stock for stock, they are MUCH better than a any V6 motor that's ever gone into a Mustang. Forged internals from the factory ...

i plan on getting 350 becuase right now im at around 215 and with the power pack i will be at 300. with forged internals and the right tune i could achieve 350 or more and that is N/A. the base horsepower for my engine is 202. i have a cold air intake and full exhuast. these numbers are not absurd and there just guess right now, until i get the parts and get it dynoed and tuned. there not concrete but i think i will be able to achieve them.
