Default Cam and head help

I have a 95 lt1 49000 orignal miles, could someone please look at this ad. http://sarasota.craigslist.org/pts/1882620684.html. Is this a good set up for my motor. What HP gains do you think I could get. Also are these a good quality set up? Thanks for any info. Also what questions should I ask the seller? Sorry for all the questions but I'm new to the mods game. I was thinking about getting the Heads, Cam, and roller rockers.

Need to get some larger valves and serious porting or a better aftermarket head altogether to make it all work right. Port the beans out of the intake, too .
