I'll have to do some more thinking, but pretty sure I am leaning towards a 5858 in a mitsu housing and FP cast manifold now. It will save me some money and should easily meet my goals.

I really don't see myself needing much over 500-550 whp, I had 460 before I sold my stuff and I thought that was a blast. That was on an old style SCM61 with stock intake manifold.
Just remind yourself that the bigger you go the more will/can break. Or the more likely you'll have to buy more expensive/possibly finicky components in order to handle to power. I'd lean toward taming down the plans and shoot for a more reliable/less headache path of 500whp.
