Default 428 FE: Thermostat or Restrictor Plate

Hello All:
I inquired with my engine builder about the use of a thermostat on my 428 FE. They said I had two options :
1.) Install a Stant Thermostat #13076 160 degree between surge tank and intake OR
2.) Install a restrictor plate

Here are my questions:
1.) Is one application superior to the other?
2.) Are the gaskets different between the two applications?


Car Use:
This will be a street use car only.

Thank you in advance for your replies.
