How Much Power Will A 2004 GT With 180,534 Miles Make?

We recently picked up Tyler's old 2004 Competition Orange Mustang GT and realized it's in a lot worse condition than we remembered. So before we fix it up and start making some changes, we wanted to get it up on the dyno and see how much power it really made!

I'd like to see fresh engine oil, plugs, 93 octane, engine air filter if the fender mount is dirty and clogged. Any other maintenance things that could need addressing and then back on the dyno. But maybe do a compression test before all of that to verify how healthy the engine is.

[@deansapp4635]

Yes, everything you said plus drive the car hard for about a week. I ll bet it picks up 20 to 25 hp

[@m.b.3916]

93 octane will result in lower power unless the timing is bumped, this is not a high compression motor, doesnt need more that 87 octane

[@joer5057]

@@m.b.3916 care to explain "lower power" with 93? I agree, it likely wouldn't see much (if any) gains assuming that it isn't seeing any knock as-is. But lower power? Highly doubtful, imo.

[@ZNX05]

@@deansapp4635 how do you drive a high mile gasser hard without breaking the trans or something with the engine. ?

[@buckmclean8391]

Joe R because higher octane fuel actually contains less energy per gram. Because the octane additive put in provides little if any energy in the combustion process, it’s only purpose is to resist detonation. If this motor does not have a tendency to detonate due to it’s relatively mild compression ratio, then high octane fuel will provide no detonation resistance, therefore no effect on ignition timing, but will come with slightly lower energy output when burned. But I bet it would hardly be noticeable, if at all.

Something about the sound of a mod motor that I just cant get over, to me they sound way better than anything out there today, aside from the GT350, now I have a couple of cars with mod motors, 2v, 3v and 4v, I went the easy route and just supercharged them along the years but I never really seen any well built NA 2v or 3v that made a lot of power back in the day, since the 5.0 everyone seemed to have just ditched these and never looked back, wonder if today the aftermarket could support these mod motors NA and we can have High power mod motors specifically the 2v.

For being rated at 260 from factory at the crank, I don’t think this is too bad power wise. It’s got mods but nothing that would drastically change the power output

[@tylerspecht7553]

Yea I agree tbh it's tuned on 87 swapping to 93 tune would literally probably bump the power up 15-20hp on its own. Mods wise intake is maybe worth a couple hp, x pipe a couple hp, catback a couple hp and thats pretty much it. Motor still seems pretty healthy as far as I'm concerned

[@ironpanther2420]

Just beware, the 4.6 intake will not fit the 5.4 due the higher deck height. Also, you'll have to run exhaust manifolds as well because long tube headers won't clear the floor pans on Mustangs with the 5.4 swap. I've looked into this for my Mustang and it can be done but I don't think it's worth the hassle for what little you gain in mostly torque. But if you already know this and have everything for the swap, I say go for it. No replacement for displacement.

Bought a 04 40th anniversary gun metal gray gt in 2004 ... with about 10k miles. Was my daily driver until about two years ago.

[@martinmartinez8161]

That's actually pretty decent numbers considering the miles on that motor. These engines don't respond that well to mods on the stock heads. I've seen full bolt on new edges put down 230-240 hp and 280-300 torque. I have a stock 02 gt so this'll be fun to watch.

Honestly, it made more than I expected. In my head I guessed 187whp before seeing the result. I really didn't expect much, especially 218. Those engines are turds until you throw some serious $ at them. That's just my ✌️ cents. Ten bucks says some ford guy will jump into this comment section & claim his Mustang is fast with nothing more than bolt on's. Yes, old ford's can make good, reliable power... reliable being the operative word. I'm not a Ford fan whatsoever, but they can be wicked fast when you throw some coin at them, but they are far from fast with simple bolt on's.

I luv mustangs have had many over the years but these 4.6 engine were just not powerful enough too make any power without mods it’s best if you just got have a mustang off this year just swap in coyote engine and be done are the twin cam 4.6 from the cobra and mark viii I would do that before trying too make anymore power with that motor it takes horse power too make horse power.
