$1400 to spend... I already ordered my longtubes, and ls6 intake. What would yall recommend next. Car is basically stock aside from volant intake, exhaust, longtubes, the ls6 intake, wires and the car is a 99 and m6. What would yalls recommendations be, I'm leaning towards a ms4 cam and something else.

Says the man with a cam not much smaller. 
To the original poster. Do some more research on your cam selection rather than just picking the coolest cam specs you can find on the internet. If you want a TSP cam, they have a lot of other selections that would fit your combo.
Me personally? The very first thing that needs to go into a 4th gen if you plan on heavy modding is a rear end that won't snap in half.

GOOD custom grind > biggest self cam you can find.
i cant ever stress that enough. everyone thinks that they will be happy driving a huge lopey cam with tons of overlap. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!. spend HOURS, i mean like actually sit around here whenever you have free time to serach endlessly for something that suites your needs. im nto turning you away from the ms4 or big cams, but you need to know what you are in for. you have to know your goals (dyno #s & track times) and how you want the car to drive. do you have any idea what makes a car drive like **** or not? or how those specs affect the driveability of the cam? or are you just going with it b/c its huge & you just want peak dyno numbers & dont care about how you will have to live with the car everyday?
custom grind, custom grind, custom grind.
A well thought out setup is greater than the sum of its parts.

i guess i should answer the question while im here.....if you spend ~$700 of the 1400 on the TSP cam kit, youre going to need a new clutch, a tune, an oil pump, bigger injectors, maybe a fuel pump, and most importnantly a tune. all of that is going to get pricey. save up another $1,00 or so, do some research and then come back to us.

What are your goals for the vehicle? Are you wanting more of a street combo or more dedicated to racing? You will likely be needing a new clutch before long with the mods you have now.
Let us know if we can help. We have camshafts from mild to wild to fit almost any vehicle combo out there, as well as the other drivetrain components you might need such as a clutch

Looking for a setup to run on the street with having the power when i feel like i wanna use it... my goal for right now is 450-500. From what i've seen i can prob hit the 450 mark with heads, cam, and intake.
