Whats safe?
 
I am going to attempt to hit the wife up for some $$$$$$. My question is how much hp is safe to add to the 5.4 s/c under my hood. I know that my 05gt was around 450hp and after that it was a little risky ie kaboom.

I do not want to open up the motor so what could/should I do to increase the hp. I know about the cai/tune but what else can I do. The 605hp SuperSnake has what to get to the 605 number? Any help would be great as spring is just around the corner. I already have my excuses/reasons lined up to hit the wife with:lol

Talk to Matthew at Tecmotion he has tuned several of these.

Pulley, tune, and cai and I'm sure you would be at your goal.

How about 800hp? Slap a Kenne Bell 2.8H on that baby. But in all seriousness do like they said get a pulley, a tune and a CAI and you should be pushing 600hp.

i thought the cai and tune gave you 50 hp right there

With wax, tune, CAI and pulley...you should at least be good for 200 extra horse!!! Minus the wax...50 horse...lol

Don't forget. I'm going to hit you up for a wax come middle to end of april. :)
