Default 383 build

well, i have also decided to go to a stroker lt1 motor but would like some advice as to which direction to go...
i currently have edelbrock tb, lt4 hot cam, hydraulic top end, 1.6 rockers, aluminum heads(stock i think) which have been port matched and shaved .012, and a 2800 stall. all this in a 95 s10 infront of a built 4l60e and a triangulated 4 link ford 9in

i plan on purchasing an eagle forged rotating assembly to make it 383 but from there i am not sure where to go as far as a new cam, etc. ive been told if i want to be able to make bigger power i need 220 heads but then ive been reading i need a new intake aswell so would 210 or 200 be ok? i plan on spraying at least a 150 shot in the future, i just want to get the build done first. this needs to be streetable, but i do want a good lope out of it
the current set up produced 320hp on the dyno and a 2.4 60' 13.8 at 99mph, sucks i know but i couldnt get my damn truck to hook

thanks in advance

What kind of power are you looking for, and what is your budget?

Streetable is also a relative term. What does it mean to YOU?

actually i dont really have a goal, i just want reliable decent power and good (also relative i know) track times. i suppose if i had to put a number out i would like 400hp and high 11 low 12's. if i couldve hooked with the current setup i wouldve hit low 13's i think. the parts acquiring process will be done over several weeks so my budget can grow however i would like to shoot for the 1500-2000 area to start with.
ill put it this way, right now when i come to a light my truck rocks slightly side to side. i LIKE that
i have drag radials and a new mosier locker to put in as well

oh and i am running stock manifolds as well, the stroker will be treated to some shortys so they will fit in the truck, ive already tried longtubes

Assuming that's 400HP at the wheels, a heads/cam package from AI would do you nicely, but you could easily have MORE without sacrificing drivability.

And that $2000 is about 75% of the budget for JUST the bottom end to be done right, so keep that in mind too.
