Wilwood d52 vs Superlite 6R

Been looking at upgrading the brakes on my 70 gmc. Right now it has 2” drop spindles with 72 stock calipers and rear drums with 6 lugs but want to move to 5 lug.

Right now I’m putting in a 383 that should be somewhere around 480hp/480tq it’s all forged and plan on potentially adding a vortech supercharger later which has me looking at better brake options. I was debating doing wilwood d52 front calipers and potentially Cadillac d52 rear discs but also wondering if I should switch to the Forged Narrow Superlite 6R six-piston calipers which I get I have to move to wilwood spindles.

Just hoping to hear if the superlites really are a big improvement over the wilwood d52 calipers as it’s a big price jump.

This is a driver so no racing but the highways here in Texas are 80mph so with the extra horsepower just wondering what’s the right approach.
