I think Pro Turbo is making a kit now. Not real sure of how many companies are working with the 4.6 right now. Amazon racing has some info about turbo kits for the 4.6 since they install them. Give them a shout.
the stock internals will handle no more than 550WHP. even with a conservative tune, there's no way the hyperutectic pistons can handle that abuse.
I had 510whp with a 11.5 A/F ratio on 10LBS of procharged boost. it didnt last too long. build yourself a motor with the stock block, crank, forged rods and pistons, and even with the stock heads, throttle body, and everything else... except gobs of boost, and youll make upwards of 700WHP.
I have a buddy with the same setup as me except for forged internals and an adaquate fuel system.(see sig) with 25LBS of boost with the same blower make 705 WHP. nuts.

not sure about how much the block will hold but this turbo kit looks pretty decent for the 4.6. they make some nice kits i think. http://turbodrivenconcepts.com/2002cobra.html

I'm not 100% certain if they are doing DOHCs yet, but they have been doing 4.6s

nothing exciting.. my motor still runs, and runs real good. the only problem is that whenever I get into boost, it smokes blue, and wont make power after 5K RPM's or so.
I pulled the plugs, and theres oil in the #6 cylinder.
ive put about 2K miles on it the way it is... no check engine lights or anything.
ill forge it this winter.

To make 450rwhp it would only take a T60(little turbo) about 9psi to generate those numbers on a stock engine.
That is good to know, 9psi wont be putting that much stress on the internals, but at a 5995 price tag it looks like the best route for me would be the vortech setup. Are the tunes on the new chip safe to get into boost with?? Or do you need to dyno them again and get a new chip burnt, becuase the closest dyno is 1 hr away from me, and the guy dynos the car then sends the results to get a chip burnt, so that is more than a 3 day wait.
But remember, that 5995 includes eveything. Turbo, Intercooler, injectors, MAF, Exhaust, etc. Also, a Turbo will generate much more power at the same psi than a supercharger can. A turbo also puts a whole lot less stress on a engine beause it isn't being driven by the engine. One more thing: How about turning up the boost just by turning a dial? 5psi for just cruising, then jack it up to 9-10psi when somebody wants to play :-D
this is from turbodriven concepts and to me this is something that made up my mind. http://turbodrivenconcepts.com/faq.html
its a comparison in price and hpo from their systems to s/c systems. i think going with a turbo kit is a better deal as hj16 said. just my .02

I understand what you all are getting at, but i just got back from my first day of school my books were over 400 dollars and I still owe them an additional 700 to added to the 590 dollar downpayment for letting me register for my classes. It looks as though no mods are in my near future 
just a note...
I heard through the grapevine (actually Stangnet.com) that TDC has SERIOUS customer service issues, like only shipping parts of the kits and stuff. I have no beef w/ them, their kits looked good, but you can check out the customer reviews on Stangnet before you order. Just something to think about.
