You have a parts list and an approx cost?
A High velocity head job with parts and labor is around 900$, springs, bronze guides, titanium retainers, and valves. and there awsome portwork with Spun-dropped head milling.
cams are around 350$
the CP pistons are about the same.
ignition for carbed bike was around 275$ with custom map for my bike.

What is Spun-dropped head milling?

Well, to help make your bike user friendly HQ will cut a .025 circle in your headgasket base then you canuse any old SE head gasket that is .052 thick, when bolted togetheryour heads quencharea drops into the gasket abit and gives a proper .030 quench area every time.

This was a bigger deal when thinner gaskets were unheard of a few years ago.
