Two things concern me... How much? If you have to ask.....
Next thing is the 425rwhp. Nice number, but why not 435, 445, 455, etc.
Take it to the track, if you haven't yet and see what it does. Then decide what you really want. Being able to quote a rwhp is meaningless in my opinion.

you could put in a cam that has big lift, but not much overlap. this way, it won't lope as much but will still get you gains. free-flowing ported heads, good intake manifold, big TB, free flowing exhaust, some valvetrain work, a lid, and if all else fails, some juicy juice ; )
