I'm getting over 21mpg in the Mustang. Not bad. It's not really high powered
though, only a 4.6L.

I thought your Mustang was a GT?

It is. The GT has a 4.6L V-8, with an advertised 300hp. I don't do a lot of drag
racing though. (Although, I *know* it'll do 110mph in 3rd gear - without
redlining.) I've only done that once. That was enough.


Fuel Injected?

Of course. Ford hasn't put a carb in a car since the mid-1980s

I didn't know you could push the Ford standard 4.6 L
to 300 hp without altering something major.

Oh, heck yeah. The standard 4.6L GT (aluminum block) is good up to
around 450-500 IIRC on stock internals, IIRC.

You can push a 4.6L Cobra (iron block, underrated at 390) with stock
internals to about 600-650 without too much trouble. Change the stock
blower pulley, some custom intake and exhaust work, and a custom chip is
about all it takes.
