Default Top end / Bottom end

If all goes well, I'll be taking delivery of a 92 coupe in two weeks.

This winter I should have enough money to either stroke out the motor to a 383 or do head/cam/intake stuff.

I was thinking I'd do the bottom end this winter, then do the top end next winter.

My question is, will doing the bottom end give me more, less, or about the same as cam/heads/intake? I was thinking about going with AFR 210's but I'm afraid if I do the top end first, the 210's would be too much for stock bottom. If so, would it be worth getting the LT4 heads/intake over headwork on the LT1 heads and intake?

Thanks in advance!
