Default Opinions Wanted

I'm lookin for people opinions I have a 98 Camaro with 128k miles on the engine the car is a toy not my daily driver. The car was bone stock when I got it last Sept since then I have added the usual bolt ons Pacesetter 1 3/4 LT Headers, ORY, Borla CatBack, LS6 intake, SLP CAI, MSD Plug Wires, Racetronix fuel pump, TR6 spark plugs and a Nitrous Outlet 78mm plate kit. I had the computer tuned and had the transmission rebuilt and a 3600 stall converter installed. I know the engine wont live forever with 128k miles on it already and nitrous. I plan to build a 408 once this engine lets go. I'm thinking about doing a cam swap to the current engine maybe a TSP MS3. What do you guys think cam swap now and spray it until I kill it or just spray it until i kill it and save the cam for the new engine?

Why put off building the 408ci? All you are gonna do is spend more and more money on parts you won't be able to reuse once you start building the new engine. Start ordering parts for the new engine and leave this one alone until you have everything you need to finish the new build. I wish I would have done this. I can reuse a bunch of stuff from the old motor but I have to sell a few things to now.

Personally i think i would save the money till it lets lose unless you are hitting it with a 200 shot and still want more power. How much you spraying through it?
