I would think if anybody out there is running a semi-modern Ford pickup with an engine making 450 HP they are likely on this forum. So see what they did and match it. And if nobody's doing it, there's probably a really good reason for that- either technologically or financially.
it's fairly easy to hit 450 to the ground, I'm knocking out 385 on 10# with a stock long long block, forged internals, stage 2 heads and a set of cams and I'm there

Built is making around 475 if I remember right and phil is up there too, Mike Dunn's truck is making over 500 and there's a few more making good power

it's all about the torque and keeping traction, f150xlt is the middle of his engine swap right now and he'll be right up there too

The 450 is just a number I would like to reach someday. And can someone tell me about how many horse I will have if I do everything but the blower?
Thanks

You should be somewhere between 300 or 350 HP.
The most Iv ever seen on here is Neil.I think he ended up with 350RWHP on his build(without a blower). But he paid a great deal of attention to every little detail!

Yea, and that never did pan out. Builder screwed him over. All that time, expense and hassle. It's gotta be hard to start over after that. Sucks. Back then just those heads he was running (FoxLakes) were about 4-5 grand alone. Their cheaper now.
