Abdullah,
Bottom line you have to set a goal and work at gathering parts to reach it.
1-How fast/quick do you want to go, 10's, 11's
2- Your car is stock so you'll need all the bolt ons first, LT headers, LS6/LSx intake, Ported TB, lid, bellows, injectors, fuel pump, clutch, 12 bolt rear etc....
3- Heads, cam, pulley, valvetrain, oil pump, T-chain, gaskets etc...
4- Tuning, ls1 edit or HP tuner.
As you can see, this is no cheap task. So first decide how fast you want your ET's and work to achieve that in the most reliable way.

Cam> T-REX
Heads> Stage II 243 casting LS6
Headers> QTP with Velocity collector
Intake> Fast 90/ 90 TB
March pulley 25% UD
You'll also need injectors, fuel pump (RACETRONIX).
12 bolt MOSER rear with 4:10's
BMR suspension goodies and SPOHN torq arm, QA1 shocks.
A set of light wheels, I like BOGART and ET Drag and skinnies.
HELM manual at AMAZON.COM
NO I wouldn't spin the stock block above 6800/7000 max, and that is depending on how many KM it has.
