Default Help with top end build

I have an 87 GT that I'm converting to MAF. I need help with the right combo. The car have a 5 speed and 373 gears.

I have a so far
MAF connector
computer
93 Cobra intake
70MM TB
Explorer GT40 heads

I plan on getting
cam
lifters
roller rockers
springs
screw in studs
injectors if needed
fuel pump if needed

My question is what would be a good cam and rocker combo for a weekend/not a DD street car that isn't for the track. I want it to be as stong as possible on a low budget.
Any help from you guys that have been in it for a while is much appreciated.
Thanks
Frank

strong as possible and low budget = dismal performance, as much work as it takes to install the cam and being that it is the brain work that'll make or break a combo..............you wanna talk cams, do it right with those who truely know the industry and what you need......www.flowtechinduction.com or www.camshaftinnovations.com sure you'll spend a little more on a cam and proper spring package but you won't be reconfiguring the combo later down the road, I've used both with good results
