I would call several of the vendors and have them set you up with a package. There are a ton of choices but I highly recommend Martin @ Tick performance based of his customer service.

You're going to need a pretty stout setup to reach 450 rwhp + with a stalled auto. Just remember that dynos can vary quite a bit sometimes, so don't get you heart set on a paticular number

vengeance racing sells a good head/cam set up .check Texas Speed and the ws6 store for prices on parts to help figure out your budget .some tsp prc 225 cast heads with a cam from tick will make you happy .get a fast 92 or 102 intake with a 92 mm TB.

Does that budget include install? If not, you've got a pretty nice sized budget just for H/C. I'd go along the lines of AFR/AI/TEA for heads. All depends of what you want to do though.
