Finally, I am seeing some logical responses here. It's not gonna be an easy build considering the budget and convincing the owner that approx. 320rwhp is really gonna be a nice goal number instead of anything close to 350+rwhp.
After doing quite a bit of research and pulling from my own experience, I (as of right now) am looking at a nice set of custom grind Stage 1 cams, with undecided heads, full exhaust and upgraded fuel system. The big bonus for us right now is the Bullitt intake. It's a solid intake and with some port/polish work will work well for this application.
There is also the possiblity of spraying a small short in the future and these N/A Stage 1 cams will fit the bill and really open up with a little giggle gas.

It's stage 1 heads and his choice of any cams Nick offers. So he could pick the Stage 5 cams if he wanted lol
I know he has a power goal in mind but I think if he goes to big of a cam he will have to spin it higher than the stock block would like to make his power. Bill Putnam has CMS Stage 1 cams, bullitt intake and stock heads and he is shifting I believe a little above or right around 6500rpm. Add ported heads and I'm guessing those shift points will increase a little.

I think to get anywhere near 320rwhp without above a stage 2 cam, he will need the TFS heads and luckily he already has a better intake manifold. Ported PI heads aren't gonna cut it with the hp and drivability goal
