[QUOTE="BillyGman, post: 2717237, member: 19962"] Uhmm, am I reading that right? the marauder engines are NOT 302 cubes. they're 281 cubes (4.6L). They have the 32 valve heads though, and DOHC's. I agree about the prospect of 400 HP N/A. It isn't worth shooting for on a street driven Marauder. You would have to hog out the intake ports on the cylinder heads so much, and use such a radical camshaft design to obtain that kind of power with such a small engine, that it would move the availability of the engine's power too far up the RPM scale for a street car. And with the power being that high in the RPM band, the driveability would be terrible too since you would need a 4,000-4,500 RPM stall speed to get it moving off the line. It wouldn't make for a tolerable daily driver. Nor would it be enjoyable to drive on the street, especialy over the longhaul. Forced induction will provide streetable power providing the right choice of power adder is chosen for this heavy car. 300 RWHP N/A is within reach. But not 400 RWHP. The engine is too small. If it were to be dropped in a trailer queen used only for the track, then I'm sure that more than 400 RWHP is possible. But for the street? No way. [/QUOTE]
