Should i get the ls6 cam and tune for $700 or should I just sell it and focus on suspension. I would get sfc,lca,phb.This is my daily driver.Which one would i benefit more.

I sure as hell wouldn't drop $700 on a LS6 cam & tune. You won't get enough performance gain to make up for the cost. At this point the suspension would benefit you more.

If you get a cam I never suggest anything under a 224/224 grind. Anything smaller I'd consider a waste of money unless your goin forced induction later. And then thats a whole other can of worms your gonna be opening.

Suspension!! Shocks will make your car a whole different animal, in a good way. Use nothing but the Bilsteins or Konis from Strano. Prepare to kick yourself for not doing it sooner. Sway bars next.

The tune is prob a dyno tune which can range between 400-500 and prob 200 bucks for the cam.

If your going to spend about that much put a lil more cam in it, like the others said TR224 is a VERY proven cam that makes great power for the size and have great stock like driveability
