I think its just about how in depth you want to go. I just built a 383 stroker and went with a full roller set up. Here in California it is hard to find oil that has the zinc and other key components that you need with a tappet style lifter to not get cam degredation. I think that performer intake is plenty for your application due to the RPM range for the engine.

IMO engine builds are as crazy as you want to get! i hear you on the budget thing as well! Just make sure you degree the cam to the proper specs and that you have a good set of rings on the pistons!!

Good luck my friend! Sounds legit to me!
