Call Texas speed. They are knowledgable and can point you in the right direction. Basic stuff easy to do can net you serious gains in the hp department.

What type is it? LS3 or L99? I would get with GPI (sponsor) they work mostly on 5th gens my buddy is running their SS3 cam and is making 498rwhp on stock heads or you can go with their most aggressive cam SS4 which requires fly cutting to clear the cam and combined with heads that 500rwhp+ on motor. Ofcourse with supporting mods headers pulley intake etc....
GPI has a cam only stock heads A6 5th gen camaro running 10.75 in the 1/4
