I dont intend to turn his into a flame, but the 3rd gen has nowhere near the aftermarket of 5.0's, they might eventually.
Tpi's were competitive in stock form, with the first of the efi stangs barely edging them out, But imo with just minor mods the 5.0 would wake up and rape the tpi badly, i however practice this matchup with a friend of mine every wendsday, with his 87 iroc and some minor mods, pretty original, even with him on stickies and rear grs, he has no chance.
I dont consider 600$ headers a cheap mod
