Love watching these old Power Nation build episodes, reminds me so much the time when the show was being aired on TNN and watching them on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

They lost me after only two minutes. Their title was Supercharging a GT's 4.6-liter For An Extra 200 Horses, but then they took out the car's 4.6 to replace it with a Roush short block and supercharger.

According to the guys at Brenspeed, you are right about where you should be, with stock internals. Rule of thumb, 450 RWT is about all you want to send. Horsepower is irrelevant, when it comes to breaking parts. It's the torque, off the line that breaks parts. Mostly connecting rods. Horsepower is developed at upper RPM, torque down low, when the most stress is created. Again, this is just Brenspeed's word.

Stock rods are perfectly capable of handling more horsepower than that. It's the torque that you need to keep in check. Any torque over 450 at the wheels, is bad for the stock rods. Everything else in the stock internals should be fine.

There are many reasons people build cars, other than making THE most HP. Considering the 18-19 GT's start with 460HP, making 500+ isn't much more than a CAI, headers and a tune. I personally prefer the S197 look over the S550. Plus, doing all the work myself, gives me some sense of accomplishment. Buying a 500+ HP car only takes money. Doing the work yourself, takes skill, patience, and knowledge.

can someone tell me if this is the same 4.6 that would be in a 99 mercury grand marquis?

New short block and supercharger for only 500hp!? What a rip.

I have the same set up just not rods and Pistons and I'm pushing 600 hp

All that to get where a coyote starts. Just can't justify the cost of upgrading an old 4.6 anymore
