Help me make a decision

Well, it looks like I wont have the money I was thinking I was gonna have by January of next year so I wont be able to build my engine just yet. I can afford everything but the short block because I am going with a brand new 4bolt block and forged pistons, rods, and crank. Keeping in mind that everything I put on the engine thats in it will have to be removed and put into the new engine, what would you go ahead and purchase and install?

1. Cam (will require a new chip)
2. 1.6 RR's
3. LT1 intake
4. 58mm TB
5. 100hp nitrous kit

What size motor is this for? Personally a 58mm throttle body is too big for most applications, and a LT1 intake could also be rather troublesome. I would go with whats left.

For the time being it is going on a stock 350 but the engine I am building is going to be a 383 producing about 470hp and 500ft/lb.
