Default heads/cam package?

Okay, i'm jumping the gun right now since i'm shopping for parts with my next year's tax return $$ lol. I'm looking for the best heads/cam package with a big choppy cam. Maybe even the best intake manifold too. I have a custom CAI on the car now and I already have my exhaust system planned out but i'm looking to put close to 500hp to the ground so any other ideas are greatly appreciated. If anyone lives near Springfield, MO then maybe you can give me some info on a performance shop besides 417 Motorsports?

If you want 500rwhp, it is going to need some more cubes. Stroker motor, ported heads, ported intake, cam will get you to 500rwhp.

ive been seeing G8's on youtube put down 450+ rwhp with h/c/i and headers and tune but hardly any of them go into specifics of the parts list. I saw the video with the built G8 that has 230v2 afr heads and put down just over 500 rwhp but i know he didn't just bolt those on without playing with them. Here's what i've come up with so far. kooks headers, 3 in. exhaust to spintech race mufflers, the heads i'm leaning towards the afr 230's and the cam i'm still uncertain about. i am wanting something big like the hpe mega death cam (if it will work). I haven't looked into an intake yet

^^ +1 ^^

PatG's G8 made 505hp with stock cubes, heads, and a cam.

With a PatG cam, Gregg Good ported L92 heads, FAST 102, and
supporting mods my G8 makes 478hp.
