[QUOTE="F8L SN8K, post: 4503799, member: 50367"] Roush who helped develop the motor for the 03 cobra and shelby says that they are on barrowed time after 600 to the wheels for the shelby. and Ford sayed the cobra was tested to hold 700 flywheel. close to the same at the wheels. RPM is what kills rods. and DETONATION is what kills pistons. the rods in a 5.4 is so long thats why they dont spin them high RPM. Before everyone jumps on me on being a typical 03 owner. I ordered a Shelby but the dealer said 20K over sticker when I went to put down the down payment after they already agreed to sell for sticker, but another ford dealer offered them 10K over so they did some research on what they were selling for and decided to sell it for 20K over. am I bitter..... sure. but could buy one after IDIOTS stop paying over sticker and then the dealers will stop asking ADM. just like the 05 mustang, 03 cobra, thunderbird(remeber the insaine dealer markups they had?) wait a year or two and pick one up with a rebate.
