Max Horsepower with a stock bottom end 4.6?

it's just not the power you make, but the condition of your bottom end and the quality of you're tune.
On that note if everything was perfect, in a perfect world, the rod's are going ti give out at around 450 wheel hp, and the cast crank is good to around 600 wheel horsepower. More is possible but it is severely damaging to your stock block, and will kill the longevity of your engine.

Top fuel is right on if its a pre 2003 4.6 L motor.

He isn't talking about a DOHC (cobra) motor, which has a different bottom end than the SOHC (GT) engine.
Any cobra engine is going to be able to handle a lot more power than the GT counterpart, due in large to their 4 bolt mains, and forged crankshaft.

yeah, same thing goes for the 3v engine but there are also plenty that are still living with higher than 450rwhp numbers. It isnt a perfect world and not all engines are created equal.
The other question is... will 600+ ft/lbs kill my 5 speed automatic?
