RHS makes a good budget head.
I would get a custom cam built for the app.

RHS Pro Action are About $450 bare or $650-690 assy each.
Cams, A roller is almost always a better choice. You can get more lift and quicker valve events.
Specs, Give me all the specs on you combo or go the this link and fill in the black and pm or email it.

And we can will spec a cam and talk to our builder "CustomCams".
