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.

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.
