for $3k, look into the TrickFlow 215cc head/cam kit. I put this on my LS1 and have loved it. You will need a tune, but the kit usually runs about 2.3k so you should have enough to cover that. On trick flow's website, the kit is labeled as their 515hp head/cam kit

I thought it was an unwritten law that the first mod is Headers?
I would do Headers and cam, and use the rest in the tune and nickel and dime stuff
you don't realize you need yet.
