Default Recommendations on next upgrade

My 98 trans-am has TSP Long tube headers, ory, TSP Exhaust, Performabuilt trans Level 2, 3200 stall converter and Tune by frost. i am looking for the next upgrade. Trying to decide on an LS6 intake, Cam or heads and or in what order.

The car has 130,000 miles does not burn oil at all. One question is for a cam, i run the Autobahn alot as well as around town, What cam would your recommend> Also with the car having that many miles what else would i need to upgrade, Lifters? Pushrods, rocker arms?

i have about 2,000 to spend.....

Any advice would be appreciated.

Heads and cam together is your best best since they work together. My car cam only on a mustang dyno did 368/362. After adding TSP 5.3 heads it did 414/383 on the same dyno. You'll need push rods, springs, timing chain, lifters, ported oil pump, injectors, gaskets, bolts, ect. You will want to run at least an ls6 intake on a h/c car.
