stock for stock, dyno for dyno, a 4v will make more low end TQ than a 2v in cobra form, regardless of year.
It doesn't feel that way, but its only because they pull more RPM up top.

well when I pulled over to the side of the road and i figured i check my oil, the freakin thing was empty! i was in shock because i changed the oil by the book about 2,000 miles ago and the car has never burned oil or had any leaks what so ever! i dont have a clue as to where all the oil went. So this is why im guessing its blown, its in the shop right now after being towed and there going to take a look at it tomorrow im guessing, but the tow truck dirver is a friend of mine and fellow mustang enthuisiast as well as a mechanic and he thinks its a bottom end knock and that its shot, what else could cause the motor to knock loudly like that? thanks for the help!

Yeah, if money is a big issue, go back to stock, but if not, nows your chance to get a good forged block in there and have a nice foundation to build on. And since the 3v engine in the 05s and up has come out, the prices on a lot of the 2v engine, including blocks, has dropped a little. Still costly though.
