Suggestions for a mild H/C combo I have an 02 LS1 into an 02 Xtreme swap and finally got around getting some custom header fabbed (sanderson shorties didn't work). I was thinking about doing a mild head / cam. I have two questions: what would be a good combo for a daily driver and what can I expect to pay?
The motor is bone stock and I was looking to give it some life while it was apart. I dont want to do any bottom end work, this will be a part time daily driver.
Any input would be appreciated.

I did a budget build for a daily driver. I went with a set of Patriot ported 243's with dual springs and a custom cam from Thunder Racing. (228/232). Peaks at 6300 on it's 112+2, very broad power, and it sits on top of a 100k mile bottom end.
If I were to do it again, I might go a tad smaller, 226/230-ish or even 224/228-ish and mill the heads a few CC's for higher compression or run thinner gaskets. And I'd go with a ported Fast 90 or ported LS2 manifold and 90mm TB.

I considered the a Fast / Nick Williams 90/90 combo, but I dont think I will get that much gains over my ls6 manifold, at least not that much to justify the the $1050. That can easily go towards a h/c combo.
As far as parts on the Blazer right now, a 3200 stall, Ram air, custom ecu. The truck will get tuned after I get a h/c. Custom headers, 3 in dual exhaust, I'm contemplating direct port though. I really havent done much.
