Is this to much?
IS THIS SET UP TO MUCH? The car has 130k and I am pulling the the motor and re ring the motor. the heads are stock but I have a custom true dual exhausts with long tube headers and free flowing cats to two flow master mufflers. the pipes coming out on the center of the car on both sides. I do have a diablo power programmer. it also has all egr cut out and o2 disconnected. I also put a Detroit true track full rear end with 3:73 gears it as well. has new racing built Trans and ram street and strip clutch and after market clutch master. I have a budget of about 3k but 500 is gone to the guy that is going to do all the work. . I do drive it daily and it does have working a/c. but I want to make so power and not give up to much daily driving I do want it to lope but not almost stall out. so what can you all suggest now I found this guy that bought all of this stuff new in box . 1) ls6 heads triangle cast with hollow, and sodium filled valves
2) after market springs and retainers
3) oil pump ls6 ported
4)double roller timing chain set
5)magic stick 4 cam shaft
6) flow matched injectors
7) all the gaskets and head bolts
all parts brand new still in boxes from texaspeed
and will sell me everything for 1500$ . but 1 will that set up work for me for what I want to get out of it or what do u suggest I want a to make a bad *** dd but don't want to have to fix **** as it brakes due to the mod's. and one more thing with that cam is it to much and what kind of maint. on it would I have to do like pull springs every 10k ?

With the MS4 you'll be fine and as long as you have the right spring you won't have to worry about anything. Ditch the hand held programmer and do a frost mail order or even better a dyno tune when you get everything going. Your other stuff you mentioned sounds good for the build and is priced right. LS motors eat oil so just watch that and you should be good and have no worries as long as things are installed correctly.
