Default New Engine first start!!

Hi everyone im new to the site first post but i joined becasue i recently bought a newer LS1 for my camaro. My old engine had 220k so i found a good deal on another LS1 with 42k and bought the engine and then figured it was time to do some upgrades. So i got 230/236, 600 lift, 114lsa and some obx longtube headers. Me and my buddy finally got the new engine all together an in the car today and started it up and the first crank fired right up and sounded so beastly bad part is couldnt hook up my exhaust to my new headers an we cranked it at 10:30pm so im sure my neighbors werent to happy. So now that ive got a cam and headers next i need a tune but in the future what should i upgrade next?

A little late now, but heads and an intake would have been nice. At least it should be on your "to-do" list.
