Cam; Intake; Roller rocker arms: What is a good combo for me?

Ok. Ive decided to get a cam. My current mods are in the sig. I have gathered that I need a cam with about 112 degrees of lobe seperation, but am a little confused about the amount of lift I will need. The TPIS ZZ9 seems a good choice, but is expensive. What is a good alternative to this cam, or is there a better option?

With that decided, Should I go ahead and get 1.6:1 roller rocker arms on intake and exhaust or keep the intake 1.5:1 or neither? New springs? Will these fit under the stock valve covers?

Should I go ahead with an edelbrock or accel intake while I am at it (with my SLP runners)?

Will my 'off the shelf' Fastchip be lacking when I do all of this?

Is there anything else that I have forgotten, or that you guys would suggest? Should i wait for new heads? And the million dollar question.. what will the Horsepower gain be?

Thanks, Doug
