Default horsepower advice

My goal with my mustang is around 450hp to the wheels around the same with torque and a 10 street car. I'm wondering what upgrades I should make to get me there, here's my mods as of now:
302 block forged internals, 347 stroker kit, gt40 heads, b303 cam, edlebrock high rise rpm performer intake manifold with edlebrock 4 barrel carb, Pete Jackson gear drive, Borg warner t5 tranny, and 4.10 gears.

I was thinking victor Jr 210cc heads,but I dont think that'll put it over 450

Scrap the h/c/i do the jrs with a jr manifold get a comp xfi (35-775-8) groud on 110* lobe sep and a good 750 holley based carb! You will need to upgrade the drivetrain also!

scrap h/c/i as stated = 302 h/c/i , scrap the gear drive = noisey waste and a t-5 won't do it and you'll need suspension

Suspension, slicks, Some type of power adder. Nitrous or boost. Getting in the 10s wont be cheap.

I'm at 425/425 rwhp/tq with my 369 big bore combo, afr 185 heads, Holley systemax EFI intake, 80mm TB, 90mm MA, 223/227 @ .050 duration .610 lift cam, 10.6 CR, Kooks headers, and 3" exhaust. It would run 10's with a different suspension.

I was thinking victor Jr 210cc heads, an edelbrock performer rpm cam and nitrous kit from edelbrock keeping the carb and intake and a tremec tko500. I'm not sure if that set up would put me near those numbers

That comp xfi says its for use with fuel injection does it matter if you run a carb setup
