Default wat do you rec for me?

hey guys first off i just want to say i know people are going to say do a search but thats alot of info. well i got a 2002 ls1 and i plan on going wi a cam and long tubes and some heads and of course lil additional parts as a new oil pump,chain, pully etc. well i dont know what kind of cam i should go with i got a 6speed and not trying to do nothing to the engine like forged pistons or change intakes or nothing like that.i was ondering if it would be cheaper going with ls6 ported heads with better springs,pushrods etc or just getting some other heads instead? thanks guys and sorry if i confused you
