Default What can a ZO6 handle?

Hey guys. I had the unfortunate luck when I modded my Mustang of going beyond the limitations of the 4.6L 2v, and I'm trying not to make a similar mistake if I do intend on ever modding out the ZO6.

The thing I'm wondering, is how much can you throw at the LS6 and still come out alright and more than safe?

I was thinking of doing a heads/cam swap, a CAI, and maybe headers in the future...but that's it. Thinking a possible 450rwhp as a max, and 400rw as a low. Help me out on what's safe to run out of this car.

There are a lot of people doing the exact same mods as you are looking at with no problems. Have fun. :auto:

You will need a new clutch (Ram).
