Stock to 270-300rwhp for under $2500? Suggestions?

Thanks for the input guys! The SS puts 415rwhp down (dont ask about the slow ET) so I'm not expecting the GT to hang with it for $2500.

The MAF conversion I have is just a computer, wiring harness, and maf off a 91GT I think. Not a kit, just the whole system out of another car.

Are the stock head bolts reusable? When I see "injectors" listed I assume a maf calibrated for them is required, or is that what the FPR is for? Seems like if the maf was calibrated for the injectors, the fp could stay at whatever it was before right?

I definitly didnt want to get the systemax kit, as it seems like I'd be spending more $$$ for less performance...which is why i posted on here so I could piece together a "kit" of my own.

Are the springs that come with the Trickflow heads going to be enough for a cam I'll throw at it? What pushrod lengths are needed for the trickflow heads (or are the rockers adjustible?)

I appreciate all the input guys....I'm getting a better idea of what stuff I'll need. This stuff is WAY different than the SS. At 400+rwhp I'm still using stock rockers, stock ported heads, stock fuel pump, stock fuel injectors, no aftermarket fpr, stock maf, stock programming, etc.
