I can see this motor squeezing out 475rwhp with heders, exhaust, intake and tune.

So pay 3k+ for 25hp awesome. Esier said than done. Anyone that does the dyno homework knows these cars will be pretty close of the showroom floor. No exhaust system (sans headers) has proven to make power. The stock stuff is usually heavy so the weight saving makes the car quicker but no so much the power gain.
Even laptop tunes on the stock motor are very marginal.
Hate to be a spoiler. I know in time we all will be able to squeak out gains but I suspecy it won't be that esy to see "real" gains
I Know Granatelli will be Twin turboig their prior to SEMA if at all possible and don't count out Procharger and perhaps STS. Not sure the center exh will allow for muffler turbos but...
