What to do next? Just looking for more fun things to do to the car. Must keep it a daily driver and not interested in getting a torque converter as i have a yank 2800 for sale rihgt now. Look at the mods in the sig and help me out with what i should do now? In addition to the sig I have had the TB and intake manifold runners ported by GS Performance (they do an amazing job if anyone wants this done as well). Please help me out wiht some more fun ways to drop some dough on this machine.

I think i'm sticking to the ls6 cam. heard it was a good blower cam. I'm hoping there are things that i can add to my setup or replace something stock to see a fun difference. how about rockers although i suppose this is in the wrong section for that? Maybe 1.75 or 1.7?
yeah. that would be good to have if you don't get a different custom blower grind.
But, If I were you I would not do anything with the stock rockers.
what kind of power or times are you seeing with your current setup?

Cut the muffler off and stright pipe it. As long as you have Cats on it will not be to bad and you will pick up HP for a good Mid to High end pull. I've done it on many cars and have never heard a complaint.

I don't know about all that. I am sure that he doesnt want to botch his setup.
no, you don't get the idea. this is a great daily driver, not a drag car. it will not see slicks, it will not need to lift the front, it will be fine on just gears alone.
the exhaust is not coming off either, these are the nicest sounding LT's, you hear a little rumble, but it's not loud at all, at least until you open the cutout.

Get some ported 6.0 heads to drop your compression for a more boost friendly setup.
The z06 cam is good and tame and it does like boost. But getting yourself a custom grind in the 22x/22x would yield way better gains.
this is what i would recommend.
FM-F7-114 FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 224"/230" .588"/.595" 114LSA - aggressive profile with a 1800-6800 RPM range, fair idle, recommended for blower/nitrous applications
