go with as much $ as you can afford .

never enough hp . if you can - go bb and be done with it . sure, some sb's put out bb power/trq - but the extra ya spend on a bb now is more resale value and more desireable at time of resale . also, you think 450 hp is alot til ya get used to it and want more . then it is more costly to add the extra punch .

buy a crate and get the ford warranty - or other crate builders that offer a warranty . custom builds usually cost more and ya dont always get what ya think- you are at the mercy of the reputation/ integrity of the builder-even if he warrants it . see next point whether you go custom or crate .

find someone CLOSE TO YOUR HOME to do your install ( or build ) , if not doing it yourself . easier to go back to when there are problems, or debugging needs some assistance . there are many installers available, SPF dealers also provide a list of those approved / qualified to select from .
