Many (ok, most) of these 440rwhp cars have bolt-ons like the FAST intake, 90mm TB, 85mm MAF, true 3in duals, electric water pump, or cutouts, etc. You can easily spend an extra grand or two just to squeak that extra 10-20rwhp out of an engine.
So with that said, you could go ahead and spend that extra cash in a set of AFRs and have a real nice H/C setup to build on for the future. Just an idea to think about..

My TEA 5.3L 1.5's w/a little itty bitty F11 made 436/416 through a full exhaust, 12 bolt/4.56's, and going mid 11's @ 122.
The TEA headed guys like their heads, and don't mind paying that little extra for quality, power, reliability, and (one more time) customer service/satisfaction.
But hey, don't listen to me... I'm just a TEA nut swinger.....
