Good set of heads. As for the kit, a couple posts back I gave a number to a place out in Salt Lake. They did us real well. I mean everything, rods, crank, bearings, gaskets, cam, timing chain, lifters, oil pump and pickup, and we already had the rest. All of it was name brand, no off baranded things, just good quality parts. With the cam, that really depends on what your gonn do with it. A roller is more of a strip thing unless you go with a hydraulic roller. That would cost quite a bit with the machining to the block and the retrofit lifter kit. Thats like 500 to 800 dollar kit. A regular hydraulic cam will work just fine. You can get some pretty radical hydraulic cams and their great for street and strip. I would also go with roller rockers, less friction and they free up some extra muscle. If you do go with the boys in Salt Lake have an idea of what cam you would like to go with. They can also point you in the right direction if you give them a idea of what you want. Jegs has a huge selection of cams, so you can get a good idea there also.
I would also like to say that a crate motor would be nice too. The only problem I would have with a GM performance parts on is that GM built it and I didn't. I've lost a lot of faith in GM as of late. Their motors they put in vehicle are shotty at best. Everything uses oil and coolant. They've lost their edge. Plus, building it yourself, you have the satisfaction you did it and everything is correct.
