In my opinion a good budget H/C/I setup would be Thumper ported GT40p's with SS valves and a Crane rocker arm stud conversion, Scorpion roller rockers, TFS stage 1 cam, and a good used intake ( i.e. Eddy, Trick flow, Holley, etc.) or a new Typhoon.

It's not the best combo, but if someone was ever looking for a budget build you can get GT-40 heads, a GT-40 intake, and a decent camshaft for under $500 total
