What power did it put out?

I know it's stock and all, but it's for sure going to make a good driver.

It matched the peak HP number of the 2.3 in my TC, which was the bottom of the acceptable range I set before deciding to move forward with swapping it in. Torque delivery makes for quite a different driving experience and the 4.10’s help cover for the extra weight.

That sounds pretty ed good in my opinion, not that my opinion matters in the slightest.

Nice work!

TL;DR powertrain review:
Stock 4.6 4v longblock from a mkviii, long tube headers, 2.5" y-pipe to 3" single exhaust, CAI, Cobra intake manifold. T45, 4.10's in an 8.8

Sounds good. Decent power numbers for a basically stock 4.6 4V as well.

Now I'm kinda wishing I had done the TC bumper cover with the LX header panel when I had my car painted a few years ago. It looks better than the stock LX bumper cover.

I still stand by the fact that the 4v is one of the best sounding V8's ever.

You're still a dick.
