Default Damn!

I was planing on doing a stock bottom ended lt1 build with AI 190cc heads and AI cam, but i dont think ill have the money now. I do have to pull the motor this weekend to replace the pan and front cover gaskets though. So i was wondering what mods would be the best and least expensive. I am thinking headers, pcm for less tune, and a cam, but am not sure what cam makes the best power on a stock headed lt1. I already have comp cams 1.6 rr's and arp studs. Can i use my stock springs with a bigger cam? How much hp will my stock injectors support? I have a 1993 TA so i have the 22lb injectors. How much will a stock clutch hold? Any advise is appreciated!

You can't use stock springs with a bigger cam.. fuggedaboutit.

Worn out stock clutch doesn't hold much either.
