I personally know very little about the 5.0. The one thing I do know is that stock, they sucked for power. I believe 215hp was the norm. Same goes for the 4.6 you got in yours, they were dogs too camparatively to the newer 4.6's. If your a mechanic, and you got the knowledge to work on it, the 302 is the easiest to work with. Not to mention the incredible amount of parts available for them, cheaper than parts for the 4.6 as well. I personally love my 4.6, but what it all boils down to, in my opinion, is that your buying a Mustang. As for making power, a wise man once said "you can only go as fast as your wallet will permit", or something to that effect. Congrats on your purchase, and good luck wth whatever you do.
