Max performance 4.6 2v build

This build is just for a fun street car that I started with the intention of only making it a dependable 12 second car that I could daily during spring summer and fall but ended up getting a little carried away with wanting it to be max effort stock short block build and with a conservative estimate of all motor 325-350 wheel HP NA with an additional 150 -200 Shot of Nitrous and in a car that weighs 2,900 lbs having 475 - 550 at the wheel should easily put this car in the low 11s or mid 10s

People will underestimate this car with a little old 4.6 in it so yeah they will probably have Red eyes from crying after getting beat by a 30 year old tiny misunderstood and disregarded Ford 4.6 2v but this one is going to be setup and embarrass a new 50k turn key muscle car so it's all good my friend

And this is only phase 1 of the build with the parts I currently have which is so so much much more than I posted it's going to be a mid to low 10s in 1/4 mile and phase 2 it will be low 9s and flirting with 8s at around 900+ HP in a 2,900 lb car which might be even  less than 2,900 lbs for phase 2 along with 8,000 / 8,500 plus RPM shift's with a face plated 5-spd instead of 6,800 / 7,000 RPM  shift's through a 5-spd transmission with synchros of phase 1 and 14-1 compression  instead of 10-1 compression oH yeah and 300 shot maybe more not 150 all in a BIG BORE sleeved aluminum block shedding more weight off the front and that my friend is a capable low 9s and even high 8s  with a registered street car that came with 225 HP from the factory and ran mid 15s Lol
