Default 383 what to do?

ok im not sure if this is even the right place to post this ... but i have an 00 firbird formula with a pretty beat up ls1 i think it has somewhere around 160,xxx on the clock and i know its getting tired (but dont get me wrong she still kicks like a bull) but anyway im in the process of saving money to have the whole set up reworked. TTP gave me a price range of around 9 grand to have the engine bored out to 383 and have a cam and intake done. when there ready to do it i think i may go with new heads also. So now to get to the route of this question i would like to know what kind of cam and heads you think i should go with to put me somewhere around 450hp i will have headers and a new intake ... not quite sure which one. I am also just a kid, so im not exactyly loaded, just looking for some advice
