Default Help my piece together a 6.0

So i'm debating starting another project. LT1 roller with an iron 6.0 in it. At the end of the day I just want a fun street car, I may never take it to the track but, I want something I can bury the pedal on and get woken up. I'd be happy with 450-470 to the tires. This is going to be a SUPER budget build. Here's what i'm thinking

L92 heads
LS3 intake, maybe lightly ported
Cam, nothing huge, don't want to flycut want to be able to drive normally and use my AC.
Car will be M6 with 4.10 or 4.30 gears.

I really need help on the cam and the exhaust. would I benefit a lot from a 85mm MAF? any help would be great. I've been building LS1s for a while, but I feel like a complete noob right now.

go get a LY6 off of car-part.com

slap it in there, get a wiring harness for it and enjoy 400+rwhp with VVT.

Oh by the way, VVT on the LY6/L92 is absolutely awesome can't be beaten for low and mid-range power plus makes the same or better top-end power as normal LSx motors. The LY6 is vastly superior (IMO) to the LQ9 or LQ4's and comes with L92 heads stock. I got my LY6 with wiring harness, all accessories, OBD2 port and drive by wire gas pedal for $2140 out the door and it has 8,000 miles on it.

I coupled mine with a M12 T56 out of a 2004 GTO and stock LS1 aluminum driveshaft.

I also owned a 2001 Camaro SS with F13 cam with all the bolt-ons and can say that, without a doubt, the LY6 is a vastly superior motor to what I had.
