Depends on the deals you can get. My original setup (before I went EFI) had used Vortecs ($200) that I ported, polished and machined myself for a high-lift cam, bigger springs and screw-in guides. I got a complete Comp Cams K-Kit for the XE284 that cam with the cam, lifters, springs, retainers, locks, seals and a timing set ($300). I got a used Edelbrock RPM intake ($125) and an Edelbrock 750CFM carb that came on the engine that I already had. All things said and done, EA dynoed the combo at 511 peak HP and 509 peak TQ. It's a computer dyno but you get the idea.
