I say the following fully realizing that I'm a incurable and incorrigible horse power junky..

I originally started with a warmed over 428 FE in mine. It just didn't have the grunt I wanted... or what I was used to. My daily driver would walk away from it like it was standing still (502 rwhp 07 Z06). That was just not acceptable, to have the "toy" take second seat in the acceleration fun factor. I tried different heads, cams and other upgrades but the 428 still couldn't muster what I wanted. I ended up going with a 482" side oiler from Keith Craft, Pond aluminum block, CNC'd heads and a really stout hydraulic roller cam. I'm happy now as the Cobra's (narrowly) slipped into first place on my fun factor list. Keith is a stand-up guy and builds an engine that'll get-r-done for you too.
