I know the stock 4.6 Cobra's can run ~24#'s or so max before the heads start to have problems with them lifting off, but with pump gas should be good to ~18#'s. now that their getting a little older, here's a few that have passed the 150,000 mile range with 450-500 rwhp and even a couple in the 200,000 mile range with over 400-450 rwhp.

I'm sure the GT500 is just as reliable, and probably moreso.
