Agreed, go with some Header's before a Cam. I notice you dont have a Ported Throttle Body or upgraded to LS6 Intake Manifold listed for your mods. Those are also some good mods before a Cam.

Dont forget LS6 or FAST Intake Manifold & Ported TB. You should definately hit 400 with all these mods.

awsome choice with the headers man, some guys on ls1 tech put mine in for me headers, catted y, and exhaust on in 3 1/2 hours with it 2 feet in the air they slid right in
Headers will in no way make more power than a cam the cheatr makes like 35rwhp headers won't unless you have a cam already then headers add on . Exple

If you are wanting to do both headers and a cam, then definitly do the headers first. The cam might give you a little more of a gain initially, but without headers you won't get as much as you should out of a cam swap.
Dame you run 12's with those lilttle mods?Thats whats up dude.
