Thread: 4.6 performance help

hey joe, i have a 4.6L in my '04. do the mustang parts fit on this motor as well?

Yup. I think u have the 2v motor. All mustang parts should fit on your motor. Even superchargers. At work now. But can give u a run down hopefully later. But I do know there r transferable parts

okay great, thanks brother!

Look at it this way. The 4.6 in the mustang is the same as in ur truck. With a different intake throttle body. Air system exc... Stupid little sensor stuff and that's about it. In the mustang. Everything is bigger. This the muscle car. That's what also makes your bad ass. Cause it's a tow monster change the small little stuff and power is born. Same thing they do with the new coyote motor in the truck and in the mustang today Google is your freind brother. All depends what kinda power your lookin for. But plenty of it out there. Happy horsepower!

Make your truck B A. Lol. Damn iphone

What exactly you lookin for bud?

Exhaust headers k&n air filter. Or cold air kit. Electric fan. Throttle body. Intake. But don't fall fer the throttle body spacer gag. It will give u a little whistle. And that's it. Maybe .02 better in milage. And also a programmer. I have mine set up pretty good and I have a cortex runner from superchips. I'm not sold on it though. I would rather have the sct scanner. But of course I went fer the better deal. Should have just bought what I wanted in the first place lol. But plenty of things to keep u busy my freind

Exhaust and an a cold air kit could get u 30-35hp.depends on what u do with your throttle body.

ya i have a few friends that drive the little hondas and all they talk about are throttle body spacers, so i knew they couldnt be very good lol. maybe i'll go for the throttle body mod first since the base k&n intake for my truck is $350 here. would you recommend a cat back exhaust? i priced out a magnaflow cat back for $900. would my computer need to be reprogrammed after these kind of mods?

sorry for all the questions

Oh here is what the truck looks like

No. No computer stuff fer awhile. Ur good. All of the exhaust manufactures r great. IMO I think flowmaster is the best. Purely for sound. 400$ cat back. I would do your exhaust and the air kit. Why? U say. Your gonna put a throttle body on. It's bigger. How will it get your hp up if it can't breath right? Got me? If your motor can in hale and exhale better. Your on your way for more power

----------

Wait for the throttle body. Till u get set up and ready. Ya know.

No worries bout all the questions. How u think I figured it all out. I asked a bunch too. Lol. That's what we r all on here for homes. Glad to help

wow $400 for a cat back flowmaster exhaust? i think i'll make a trip south of the boarder for that. seems like canadian prices are way higher. but thank you again for all the advice, really appreciate it. hopefully i'll be getting some good hp outa my truck soon
