TrickFlow sells the h/c/i packages for~$2250. Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe it would be a place to start.

PIECE IT TOGETHER ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS........THE AFR HEADS ARE GREAT...AS ARE THE EDELBROCK HEADS. TRICKFLOW IS GOOD AS WELL. AS FOR CAMS....WHAT DO YOU WANT? LOW END GRUNT....MID TO TOP END PULL..OR GOOD OVERALL? YOUR ANSWER WILL ALSO HELP YOU DECIDE WHICH INTAKE TO BUY. I RUN AN INEXPENSIVE TYPHOON INTAKE....NO PROBLEMS TO DATE, AND I HAVE 6,700 MILES ON IT. I RUN A COMP CAMS 515 LIFT CAM.....288 INTAKE & 290 EXHAUST DURATION @ .5 INCH LIFT. I RUN INTO STOCK HEADERS AND A MAC X-PIPE AND CAT BACK SYSTEM. COMBINED WITH MY MSD IGNITION.......SHE RUNS GREAT AND GETS GOOD MILEAGE. 16-18 IN TOWN, 22-25 HI-WAY DEPENDING ON HOW I DRIVE. HOWEVER, I HAVE A LITTLE TROUBLE DRIVING HER TILL SHE'S WARMED UP THANKS TO THE BIG CAM. BUT IT'S WORTH IT. THE TOP END IS STRONG. DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT.THEN BUY IT. YOU WILL BE HAPPIER AND MAYBE SAY A BUCK OR TWO. MY 2 CENTS.

i like the tfs kit every thing is made to make good horse power & works good together . when you get the kit all the parts will fit. also if you wanted a bigger cam summit will let you change , so how could you go wrong. trick flow has done all the testing for you.just make sure you decide what you want your car to do first. also put all of the supporting parts on too.

1. It's .050, not .5.
2. 288/290 isgoing to be youradvertised duration, not the duration at .050.
3. TURN YOUR ****ING CAPS LOCK OFF!!!!
