Keith built me a 427 small block back in 2003 that made 638HP/610ft/tk at the crank, I had in a Superformance. The engine was cast iron, aluminum heads, carb and a solid roller. I love small blocks the way they spin up with a solid roller and perform on the street (had several) and was very hesitate about doing an FE. After talking to Keith, he made my all aluminum 496 FE spin up the same way with the solid roller he selected, single plane intake to kill some of the tork down low and all the head work etc Keith does. I'm now equally impressed with the FE as I was the small block stroker, so as Keith said, "He does both engines so it just depends on what you want and budget. I love the look of some of these new fuel injection systems like this one and the 8 stack but in years past it appears many had problems with them but looks like they got it down now. Same thing happened to the auto companies when they came out with fuel injection in the 80s...
