Was thinking about getting a cobra crank, manley rods, and manley pistons put in my 00GT. How much boost can I run when I have this set up? How much would it cost, estimated? I want to run at least 15psi with a good tune.

RTRMustangGT said:I think you may be wrong about the block. The block on a GT is a aluminum block. The 03'-04' cobras have iron blocks but not the GT.
You're thinking of the pre-2003 4V DOHC engines ('93-'98 Mark VIII and '96-'2001 Cobra). In which case, you'd be right.RTRMustangGT said:sorry, you are right it is iron. i have always thought it was aluminum.
Jesus said:I dont see any problems as far the block going boom. Stock GT (Modular) blocks are supposed to be good for around 1200 HP (Unlike 5.0 blocks, which blow at like 450 HP). The other parts you mentioned should be good up to 800-900 HP I would think. You will definately need to beef up the rest of the drive train though.

I THINK these guys are supposed to know what they are talking about. Most stock block potential would be roughtly the same I would think.
