First off, if you plan on h/c, you'll definitely want some lt's and a LS6 intake so you can make the best use of the h/c. Unless you plan on a baby cam, the hpp3 will essentially be useless for tuning, so get LS1edit or HPtuners etc.
As for good prices, check in the for sale section of the forum. You'll be able to find some good prices on some slightly used and even some new items. Also check in the sponsor section, from time to time some of the sponsors have some garage sales with some good used parts. Take a look at JRP's signature too, there's some very helpful cam and exhaust information in there.

I know that you asked about cams, but I don't see an aftermarket TC or headers in your list of mods..
You definitely want to do headers before or at the same time as the cam. Cams need to breathe..
Also, you'd pick up a lot more time/performance wise with a new TC.

right on guys thanks for the info......i dont have a tc or lt's but for a guy that loves racing from about a 30 mph roll in first (a4) you always have to set the pace because you only have one chance to show your stuff.....thats why i havnt gotten a tc.......but EVERYONE tells me to......what do you think......are they usless for racing from a roll.....i dont know much abou them....
