Need more information cause there is too many variables. What do you want to do with the car? Daily driver?
I would go with LGs headers unless you need 1 7/8" in that case I would get Kooks but they are something else to install

TSP makes a nice set of longtubes for around $500. Ill be picking up a set soon from them and I just bought a 224/228 .581/.588 110lsa cam for my car, I had a Magic Stick3 in my Z28 and it was a tad much on the street for me taste, but made GOOD power!

If you go into the 230's (even with good tuning) you'll have it surging in 6th gear on the interstate (herky jerky crap) It will force you to put the shifter in 5th down the interstate and you'll see the mistake you've made.
I suggest 228 intake.. and give the exhaust a little more time 232 keep the lift under .590 and run Comp 918 springs, add an underdrive pulley, the $500 TSP headers and a nice tune... you should be happy with that combo..
The LSA will make it sound however you'd like..
114 light burble at idle, some will know it has a cam, some wont
112 light/good chop at idle, only idiots will think it's factory
110 most guys wont race if you pull up at a stop light... SKEEERD!!!

Here is a clip of my 224/224 /590 - 109 LSA, 6th gear is great even at 55 mph. Will give you an idea of lope. Pit-man

i've got some 243 cast Z06 heads going on my C5, Magic Stick 4 cam(MS4) TSP longtubes with their X-pipe, LS6 intake and T/B, Underdrive, and a dyno tune and i'm gonna be hoping for around 475+ RWHP
I'd say get the TSP headers. they are cheap and great quality, and if you wanna have a big cam the MS3-4 are good choices but you'll have to get PRC double springs and Chromoly Pushrods to handle the lift I personally can't WAIT to get this baby together

I have a 238/244 .605/.612 114 and drive close to stock while cruising with no surging or anything like that. Thats all in the tune! If your getting surging and your tuner cant fix it, its time to find a new tuner! Its not my daily driver, but it could be if I needed it to be w/o any probelms.
