Most definitely. I go back and forth on if I should really build this one, or just stick to light mods and find either an 03-04 cobra or look for an early coyote. Nice 03-04's seem to still be running 20k+ or so and 2011 gt's around 25k. A kb would put me around the same horsepower as either of those in stock form. However, the forged internals of the 03-04 cobras make them quite appealing. From what I have read coyote 5.0's are rather easy to get 500+ rwhp but the non forged internals make them seem a little less bullet proof. On the other hand, I could probably put a forged short block and kb yet still spend much less than buying one of the others. Then there is the other side of me that wonders how much hp I really need for my trips to Walmart and the Redbox kiosk.
