How much HP can a Lightning Longblock hold?
- Thread starter Saint
- Start date
max boost is about 14-16 and hp is about 450-500
Stock longblock? 500 with the right tune! PSI BTW!
mine took 450 and now i have a jdm longblock... it didnt make it lol
In a Mustang with less drivetrain loss (especially a T45 vs. 4R100) you should be safe to just over 500 to the wheels with a good tune.
With a turbo you can go to 600.
Don't spin it past 6000 though.

not to hijack the thread but silver your avatar is freakin hilarious :lol:
Guys have made as much as 540 on the stock long block. Just not for very long
a rummor around here is that frank5l made 700 hp on stock internals on a twin turbo. no it didnt last long. i think zack attack knows more on this. hes from arkansas met him before, but didnt ask him in person.
a million.
It was just a 76mm single setup.
The turbo is kind of a band-aid on a bullet wound. The power it takes to turn the eaton mask a lot of the power that the motors are putting out, but it takes power to make power. I think Shaggy is a good example of what good tuning and a little bit of luck will do to a stock block.

I seriously think the next time someone asks this question we all need to tell the person they are safe up to 700rwhp.
thats fine with me. we have sticky's for a reason
depends on what is in their rebuild kit
463hp was limit.
I made 501/582 with my daily street tune on the stock block. No issues at all. On my race tune I went 11.46@119 on just boost. With the proper supporting mods (maf, fuel, etc.) and tune, they can handle quite a bit.
I've been running 500hp for the past 2 years. Like said above, Its all it the tune, supporting mods and octane.
My first engine couldn't even handle stock numbers.
