Default Head Cam questions

I recently found that I have a blown headgasket I'm gonna do the swap my self once my house is finished. I don't understand much about cams and head specs and differences. I want to get the most for my money and don't care about getting my car smogged.

My current engine mods are LS6 intake, Flowtech Long tubes, no cats, and I guess thats really about it for actual motor mods.

I'm looking for good power gains, OEM reliability, and great drivability its gonna be in traffic.

Not sure if I need stage I II III Heads?
Cam Specs?

Have really been looking at this package any reccomendations out there.

SLP / AFR Cylinder Head & Cam Package, 1999-05 346 CID LS1 525 HP (Crank)
http://www.lmperformance.com/5910/1.html

Any comparable other options with a smaller price tag?

Thank you in advance

Dart 225cc heads and a cam about $2000. Will do just about the hp (depending on cam) and cost alot less.

Check out Texas-speed's stuff. Atleast give 'em a call. All real nice people. Also, I personally wouldn't trust a head/cam package put together by LMperformance. Just my $0.02.
