Default Heads and Cam Advice

Hey everyone, a few weeks ago I started looking into a cam and heads set up for my 2000 Z28 Camaro. I don't know much about it, so I would greatly appreciate a push in the right direction. Looking for any advice/suggestions. My current mods are Kooks 1 3/4" Longtubes, ORY, SLP Loudmouth 1 catback, SLP Lid. I try not to use it as a daily driver, but more often than not thats what it is :/ Just looking for all around good performance, I have never taken it to a track, but eventually I'd like to. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing opinions!!!

look in the used parts classifed for some low mileage 243s heads,and a ls6 intake.what gears do you have or want to use? what stall converter do you want to use?consider a tr224 cam as a starting point on your quest for the perfect cam.a good 3600 stall and a good tune .

The car is an automatic transmission. Some people have told me to look into a 3200 stall converter, would that be good? Intake is another thing I want to do and have been debating on, LS6 or maybe a FAST 92, any recommendations for that? Port and polish the throttle body? I was lookin around on Texas Speed's website and found this package...link is below. I had heard about those heads in a few different threads, and they were spoken highly of. That package I can afford at $1,800. But again, I'm still open to all suggestions on everything, intake too Thanks for the help guys!
