first do you have any mods such as air lid, catback, headers ,? i think traction is important so SFC's sub frame connectors, LCA's lower control arms, maybe panhard. sticky tires. then think about LS6 intake, ported TB, cam (aprox 224). maybe pulley. absolutely a tune!. after that maybe ls6 heads.

I have 3" long tube headers, slp lid, k&n filter, and an SSRA kit. I also have
18x9.5 front Ventus V12 tires
19x10 rear Ventus V 12 tires
am really leaning toward putting a manifold on first but if i were to put a cam in first could my stock lst manifold support it?

yes...
I put in an MS3 cam when I still had the LS1 intake. It ran fine, but I picked up a lot of power when I switched to the ls6 intake.
The only reason to do the intake first is so that you don't have to tune it twice. The car will run fine untuned with the ls6 intake, but it will need tuning with the cam.
