But, its only a 281 CI motor. I think the 4.6 responds pretty well to mods, but to make big power you must have some sort of FI, and that costs alot of money. I think thats why people bitch.

RE: why all the displeasement?
Well, what cracks me up is how ppl say that this motor, or that motor is sooo cheap to mod. Truth is that non are cheap. A friend has a Vette with a LS1 in it, and it was not cheap at all to add power. He did the bolt-ons and for all the money, he was in the same boat as us. Lot's-o-money, little HP. I'm sure the LS1 can make more HP from stock internals when all said and done, but remember you pay more for a Vette.
I also have a Chev 5.7L small block (2 wheel drive truck). Many people said, ohh, mods are so cheap, what are you waiting for? Well, mods where not cheap. s/c, ehxaust, cams.. what ever, was the same price, if not more, then the 4.6L mustang.
When I do get a chance to drive my stang, I'm always impressed how the car hauls ***, considering what I paid for it.

You have a low 12s car or a low 13s car, big difference.

Oh, and lots of people can't afford T/A's or the insurance on them, so they got stangs...
