this is the cost of doing it the right way and average prices i would expect to see.

intake 300ish
svo injectors 130ish
return style ls1 fuel rail 80ish
new manifold gaskets 20ish
new manifold bolts 20ish
new injector pigtails 20ish
new water pump 180ish?
new belt 25ish
relocating idler 10ish
new map sensor 30ish
misc fuel lines/adaptors 15ish

830ish before you start selling off crap you dont need anymore.

and from MY experience: gains=ZERO
