I t all depends on what your goal is. Do you want a streetable cam car a or a drag car. You need to figure that out first and then pick a cam for your setup.Once you figure out what your long term plan for the car you can build it accordingly so everything works togther.

A couple good options.... Look in the for sale section for a good set of used heads. You can save up to 50% doing this and find a great set of heads for around $700. Or, you can do the same thing with a cam, pushrods etc. Just because you get something used doesn't mean you will make any less power.
There are lots of people on this site that change head and cam combos fairly frequently. That leaves a lot of good parts for sale cheap.
If you go new on anything talk to Texas Speed. I have bought lots of parts from them and their customer service is GREAT. Even if you go used you will still need seals, gaskets etc so talk to Texas Speed.
Good Luck.

If you don't like the idea of used heads, you could get a cam, hook a true dual setup to those long tubes, and grab a used ls6 intake and with a tune you'd have spent right around $1500 I'd think.
