Cam: Delk Performance (Custom spec cams manufactured by Comp Cams)
Headers: Longtubes... which means your only option is MAC

Do you mean estimated price, or power increase?

Eh both would be helpful! I got the intake already covered.

Well, the Cam from Delk runs $350, I believe, and the LT's are something like $200-300, depending on used or new and where you get them.

With regard to power gains, I imagine you could see 20-30whp w/ a cam, LT's, and a tune... but there are a LOT of variables in there.

Also, I'd suggest doing ported heads while you're installing the cam, rather than tearing the whole thing down twice. Plus, you'll see a significant additional gain, and you won't have to spec a cam for pre and post-heads.
