Default engine build options

My budget is approximately $6000, that includes install and everything, which I have a mechanic who will do my engine swap for $450. I am for sure going to go with a zz4 engine, the one from pace performance for $3250/plus shipping. What I cant decide on is if I should use a holley stealth ram from usmracer on a stock zz4, with stock heads and cam, or if I should just buy the edelbrock hi flow intake runners and intake manifold which is about $500 cheaper than the stealth ram which would leave me plenty of money to install a catback exhaust also? I know the stealth ram would work better with better heads and cam, but does anybody have any experience with the stealth ram on stock heads and cam and would they recommend it over the edelbrock intake runners/intake manifold combo on stock zz4 engine with stock heads and cam?

also has anybody had any experience with this engine? It claims 360 horsepower over 400lbs of torque after tested with edelbrock runners.
