engine build

How's this sound for my engine rebuild: I want all lightweight components. The Machinst is charging 500 to put everything to gether(Blueprint and Balance. I just started working at a shop and we get half off on parts from Vic Hubbard Racing Supply( they carry just about everything). From summit it cost about $4,425 in parts, Vic Hubbard about $2,300. Price is an issue, but I want to get quality parts cause I'm gonna beat on her real hard, daily driver set up for Auto Cross and some Drifting. Reliabilty is my main concern, hoping to get around the 500 rwhp mark on 87 gas.

Bottom:
Eagle 4340 Crank
Manley 7075 Forged Aluminum Rods
Ross Forged pistons
Cleveite 77 Bearings
Total seal Max Seal rings
Moroso Blueprinted racing oil pump
Moroso Oil pan

Top:
Crane Anti pump up lifter's
GM Hot Cam kit
Manley Pro Flo Valves
Lunati billet roller chain(I have CSI H2O Pump)
Comp Cam 3 piece Timing chain cover
Performance Gasket set
ARP Bolts from bell housing studs, all engine internals and externals.

Also, am I forgetting anything?

yeah a hotcam will not get you to 500 RWHP, nor will 87 octane...try something like a cc306 or custom grind
