I have a question, now I know there is a vareity of ways to acheive this, but using the stock long block what is needed to make 350-385 HP form an explorer motor? is it possible to do this with just intake and cam choices? I basically inerested in a streetable engine and was curious how much power the gt-40s an P heads could make before porting?

nitrous oxide? Junk the heads, cam. Around that level the 19lb'ers would be maxed,so new injectors,plus mass air meter,not to mention the fuel pump wouldn't be able to keep up too. The intake could also start being a restriction at that point,so a new intake,holley or edlebrock. Atleast 1' 5/8'' headers,full 2.5'' exhaust. Best bet is to do a stroker if you want an easy all motor 385 hp.[URL="http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3358314"]

Some trick flow 190cc fast as cast twisted wedge heads, 1.7 roller rockers, efi super vic intake, medium or tall elbow your choice, a 90mm throttle body, and a custom grind cam specific for your setup.
proper headers and exhaust also I forgot about that

O.K. so 300 is about all youd get out of an explorer motor without touching the heads? and i'm thinking carbed anyhow, reason I'm asking is the FRPP engine part num M-6007-X302 has the alminum GT-40s and an E-cam rated at 340hp-310 ft lbs, now I'm sure these heads flow better than the cast iron ones not sure how mauch,but being as I have heard the Ford cams are outdated compared to some other cams I thought it may be possible the acheive this kind of power at least from a ironheaded unit? what say you? that cam isn't to radical?
