Hey guys!

Thanks to everyone who has been answering my questions, but I have yet another. Actually, it's more of a rumor I wonder about.

I hear conflicting reports about the upgradability of the 4.6L. Some people tell me it's an untapped resource and the engine with the stock bottem end, while others say with the '03 Cobra, it will be pushed almost to the max.

Which is correct? I'm thinking of getting one, but just like any car, you get too accustomed to the horsepower and want more. Could I put 450 hp to the wheels (not the crank) consistantly on pump gas with the 4.6L, neglecting Nitrous, too? I really don't want to get a new car and upgrade the valves, pistons, rods, head, etc.

Thanks,

Vision
