Adding horsepower to the 4.6 SOHC engines without going to forced induction is a waste IMHO. Many people spend a lot of money just to get another 30-40hp when they could have easily taken that money and gone to forced induction for just a thousand or two more.
My advice would be to maybe add some headers, X pipe, catback, and then go forced induction. The Bullitt intake would also be an excellent add on as it'll give you easily another 20rwhp on a forced induction setup over the stock intake.
You can also have the heads ported for a little more flow, and there are cams available for it, but then again, for the power you're going to gain, I don't think they're a good cost effective suggestion.
