well i was thinking a LT4 hot cam and some aluminum heads 202 valves maybe something like edlebrock or something in that price range 1 5/8" headers 3" dynomax cat back and port the whole stock TPI for now and also run about 10:4:1-10:8:1 compression will this give me good power for now until i can buy a better intake and chip?

You're going to buy new aluminum edelbrock heads and you can't afford an intake and chip?

That was my point. Maybe you could save a little money by not getting aluminum.
