thanks! its gott some healthy midrange power and the 3800 stall keeps it in it with moderate amount of throttle. headers 2.5 inch full exhauast with magnaflow mufflers and tail pipes.

I sold my last 03 Merc but man your videos are making me want to build another one......do you think the throttle body, upper plenum and Victor Jr. Intake were worth the upgrade? My last Panther was just a Marauder air box and intake tube with a 80mm MAF sensor, Marty Tune from Mo's Speed shop and custom dual exhaust, but willing to put in the work in the intake of the 4.6 if its worth the gains. Def will be getting a set of those Cams too along with a set of long tube headers and a true 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust system.

Every bolt on you can think of...under drive pulleys, intake and upper plenum, throttle body, headers etc. With the Motive 4.30 rear gear set you will get a little whine or noise when there's a certain amount of load on the pinion at certain speeds.
