Default Whats the best i can do with this...

If you read the "ultimate h/c combo" post, this is kind of a followup to that. To make a long story short, I've got about 3600-4000 dollars to buy parts with, not including installation. What I want is the highest streetable power for the money. So, what I'm thinking is: G5X3 cam w/ package, hooker headers and ory, 4400 stall tci tc, tsp carbon fiber lid, fast lsx manifold, hptuners VCM suite. What do yall think of that? Any suggestions for additions/changes? Will I need a new throttle body to fit the lsx manifold if just get the 78 mm one? Lastly, I've heard lots of good things about the g5x3 cam, so I think I'm going to get it, but how is the the package that comes with it? Should I get another less expensive package and use that dough for something else? Thanks sooooo much for any help/suggestions!!!

By the way, all I currently have done is FRA and a hooker cat-back.

Without heads I doubt you would see any great gains with the LSX intake.
