The l92 setup is the hot ticket on a budget.

I'd do a decent cam that would pull throughout the power range. Not anything crazy that just pulls on the top end. Try and up the compression a little by either using thinner head gaskets or milling the heads a bit. also headers, which I'm sure you've already thought of. Should put you close to your goal and be fun to drive.
As for an intake, the FAST would prolly be the best or one of those Edelbrock intakes.

Going to keep it EFI ?
