Decisions, Decisions....

Now that time has passed, ive learned a LOT more about this truck, and changed my direction (more than once)!!!! Ive decided to change motor builders based on a recommendation from some local guys. I spoke with the new builder earlier this week and we discussed more options/ideas/possibilities than the previous guy did in 4 months!!!! Using the 460 cook book, we are going to shoot for the 400 HP recipe. However, I do have a question for those of you that have the knowledge.... I'm going to use this setup https://www.summitracing.com/parts/e...view/make/ford will it meet or surpass the intake and carb recommendation in the cook book??

Budget is as follows:
October EFI System-$2,000
November C6 Rebuild-$850
December Santa Claus!!!
Jan Motor Rebuild-$2500-3000
Feb Tires and Exhaust $2000
March MISC Junk that I haven't accounted for!!! $1000


Sorry, couldn't figure out how to resize it....
