Like I said before, this fenderwall vs straight issue will go on FOREVER!!! Take a look at the most recent MM&FF issue. They have been doing a monthly feature on an old, beat stang that they are fixing up as cheaply as possible. With every power change, they are documenting with dyno results.
They bought a cold air kit for about $95 with great power gains. I think they cut a hole in the fender wall and bolted a plate with a hose to it. Check it out.
You were talking about ram air also eithe in this post or another. I don't believe these things work very well unless you are up to speed like 80 mph or something like that.
Have you considered nitrous? You seem like a perfect candidate to me for the power gains that you are looking for.
One of the things that was so great about some of the older 5.0's was the low-end trq. I just don't think you will ever be able to get this from the modular engine no matter what you do, but you can get the engine in the higher rps quicker where it pulls better.
I too have a vert. Consider this, a 4.6 Stang Vert is an easy car to drive FAST and SLOW. What do I mean? Nothing like driving slow on a nice day with the top down...no worries...hearing nothing but the rumble of the exhaust and knowing that the monster can be unleashed whenever you want.

you cant compare the old 5.0 to the new 4.6 there airbox and filter were a bigger restiction as well has having a diff maf so the bend in front of it did not cause the problems thats it does with the 4.6
look at the fastest n/a(bolt on mod motored cars) they all have open filters under the hood now if that does not tell you something then what does
and im talking guys running from 12.5-11.7 with bolt ons no motor work and no power adder
