The rotating assembly is fully forged to boot. I'll throw on some long tube headers, eight stack injection, and get a nice tune for it. I think that combo should be good for at least 520ish at the crank. It should also rev to the moon. with stack injection it will probably make power all the way to 8000 rpm. This route definitely won't make the most power, but it offers factory oem tested durability.
If it is slow (insert Ford joke here) I can always slap a blower and maybe even some new pistons in it, depending on boost levels.

Glad you enjoyed it; they sound better than I expected.
Got another car to build first, but I can think of a number of Fords I'd put the same motor in that you've chosen.
