Default Advise On Car Build

Now I know there alot of threads on what people have built and what #'s they have made but I'm kinda stumped on where to take my car from here. I have a 87 IROC with a 99 LS1 and a STS Turbo kit. I make 412HP on 5 Pounds of boost. I want to build the motor but not sure how or what combo to go with. Also going to change rearends to 9" which seems to be the best option. Now my Question is what motor should I build. I don't want to break the bank but i'd like to build atleast a better motor than my stock LS1. I have about 8,000 to spend give or take. What Block, head, cam and intake combo should I use? Thanks again for any help.
