Lifters ~500.00
Rockers ~1000.00 or more
Push Rods ~150.00
Springs ~600.00
Cam ~400.00
Machine the head for the springs ~400.00 (Just a guess)

So North of 2500.00 in Valve train upgrades. You will see more power but is it worth it? You decide.

Solid roller is so sweet...if properly maintained and tuned.
