Trying to keep up with all the fast Coyote Guys in my 4.6

[Zach@Granger]

I had an updated engine installed in my 2003 Cobra in an attempt to not get left in the dust with all the fast 5.0 Coyote guys.

Details are as follows:

stock bore 4.6 aluminum block 10 to 1 compression
stock crank
molnar rods
Bullet camshafts
Ported heads
6466 Precision turbos
T56 transmission


This really is a street car, no cage, air conditioning works, has all the factory amenities still (although there aren't many in 2003). It is not as easy to make power on the 4.6 stuff as the 5.0 with the nicer heads but we managed to make a little over 1100 on 30lbs of boost and C16.

Backed off the timing to a safe 15 degrees and I can make 1050+ horsepower and the engine should live a happy life at that number.

Engine was done by Keith at Wonder racing he does all Ford modular stuff and I'd definitely recommend him for any engine build work.

Tuning was done by Mike Post at DynotuneMP. If you are in the midwest Mike is a great down to earth guy who will tell you the facts of life and shoot you straight.

Hey Zach

So what’s your question? If you’re wondering if you can keep up, then sure I don’t see why not, unless you’re going up against the 10R80 cars. If you have that much power and torque ,then you shouldn’t have that many worries regardless against an auto mustang or any other prey

IMO nothing sound better than a 4.6L 4V, so you're still cooler ;)

That is 100% true. I loved my 2004 40th anniversary GT convertible. The coyote sounds great, but the 4.6 definitely was one of the best sounding engines ever.

The 2V 4.6 is one of the best sounding engines.

I love the sound of those.

Although I didn’t really get into Mustangs until just the last few years with the s550.

A seed was planted when I was about 11 or 12 years old. Our neighbor came home with a brand new 1996 Cobra with the 4.6. I happened to be outside and was awestruck. He called me over and let me sit in it and start it up and rev a little in the driveway. See my dad is a big Porsche 911 guy so I grew up around those. So when I heard the sound of that Cobra 4.6, a new world opened up. I can still hear that car today almost 30 years later.

Man, the 96 cobra, a friend of mine in high school, his brother’s graduation gift was a 96 cobra with the mystic paint job. Our senior year in high school in 2001, his brother went to grad school in Boston and didn’t need the car so my buddy drove it. Scrapped a guard rail dodging a deer, had to repaint the entire car. But that thing was awesome!

Y’all are crazy or I must have missed a class...cause the 4.6 does nothing for me next to a voodoo, or a de-stroked 289; both of which run to 8,000+ rpm

Had a 4.6 4V in my Vic. Have to disagree. Just a resonator delete and my Coyote is in the same realm as the 4.6 with a catback for both tone and volume.

Stock for stock, the Charger beats them all

Kinda cheating there, since it's active exhaust with pass-through everything from the factory.

Did you have a swapped Vic? The only 4V that ever came factory in a Panther was dropped in the Marauder if I'm remembering right
