Default Should I keep my car, or upgrade?

I have a 2001 mustang gt dynoed at 410 rwhp and 420 torque:Procharger P1SC Pulleyed to 12psi.
Stage 2 procharger intercooler.
K&N Air Filter
BBK long tube headers, Xpipe
Welded subframe connectors.
Eibach Pro Springs.
Cobra Fuel system.
King Cobra clutch
3.73 Rear Gear Ratios.
Green Top Injectors.
Powerpipe Intake Elbow
315/35r17 Rear Tires
Pro 5.0 Shifter
Super 10 Flowmaster Mufflers. I was wondering if it was better to keep my car and get forged internals to get 500rwhp or close. Or get a 2003/04 Cobra then build from there. If you think i shoulder stick with my current car. Any advice on forged internal sets? Would i just need a performance shop to throw them on or do i need to get them machined first? Thanks!

First thing that's going to be asked... What's your goal with the car? Daily driver with power? Track? Weekend project...

If you want a Cobra then do that.

Otherwise, you already have quite a bit of time and money into your current car. Rebuild the bottom end and spin that P1 a little faster, it can make the power you want.

I total agree. Forged bottom end and up the boost.
