1 - 0.030 over is the best, its a standard, lots of cheap parts, aka pistons and rings, so no custom stuff, less money. and its a number machine shops are used to doing.

2 - if your already droppin the dime, i would spring for at the very least a port and polish and maybe a three angle valve job. not really nessesary, but certainly to your benifit.

3 - for a 383, i would reccomend a 750-800 cfm, unless its a radical street/strip monster. a mild to kinda spicy 383 should handle those numbers fine. intake, edelbrock performer, and a stock HEI distributor would work just fine.

4&5 - dunno, havnet had it done myself, couldnt tell ya.
