I struggled with my engine choice for quite some time. I was going back and forth between Roush and Keith Craft. In the end, I went with Keith for a 427w. Too soon to tell for sure, but they just called with my bench dyno results yesterday: 579HP @ 5800 RPM and 609 LB-FT of torque @ 4500 RPM. He says he will stand behind his work, and I have no reason to doubt that. He and Tony in his shop worked with both my installer and I to make sure we were comfortable with their process. To be fair, I also spent quite a bit of time with Todd Andrews from Roush and he was very good as well. In the end, I could get more bang for my buck with Keith. People go on about the Roush name for resale, but seems like to me that Keith has every bit as good (if not better) of a reputation within the circles in which one of these cars would be resold. Just my humble opinion and two cents worth. Best of luck whichever way you go...
