And that's where having a programmer on one of these engines has merit, as you can tweak that stuff. Putting one on for the power gains is an exercise in futility.
This is one of those scenarios where dollar for HP-wise, I think a Supercharger actually shows some value.
You'd be surprised, and probably pleasantly. Driveability would be pretty darn good, but you'd have lots of power available if you need it.
The ProCharger HD kit is probably the best option:

60-65% HP gain, so 370-380HP flywheel, putting you right at a stock Lightning power output.
