Ok if your doing the R&R of the engine and handling assembly of the short block clearly that will easily save $2500 - $3500. You might make your $5k budget. I would do cams in this scenario. Bullet Racing will custom spec mild NSR cams for your specific usage/needs for ~ $1300.

That’s what I am thinking as well. Also going with a Mantic clutch!
First the block needs to be inspected to see if a slight hone will be possible. If cylinders out of round or not enough plasma coating/liner available, you're stuck running it as is or doing full liners. Good news is that the plasma PTWA is usually robust.
Second is that I personally don't like NSR cams in a boosted application.
Third is that unless you're drag racing from a dig, the stock clutch will hold especially if you do a rear gear swap. The money for a clutch can buy a 3.73-4.10 swap. My tuner runs 930rwhp through a stock clutch (even on 3.31s) but only roll races.
Last, I think you already mentioned it, but adding compression is a great idea if you're running E85 or race fuel.
Good luck man.

The clutch scares me more than cams or built engine. Mine being a daily driver I’ve heard many unhappy w aftermarket clutches either due to install/failure issues or simply the drivability degradation. I’ll probably try to run a stock 13/14 clutch right up to 900rwhp on the street.

That's Impressive. I generally run a basic nitto street tire of some sort so maybe mine will last. I think a 3.73 would be a good gear for the street.
I am leaning away from the cams, and if I am keeping stock clutch I may put that money towards a Port from Jason or BPS.
