Mine is to get these LE2s and cam off my shelf and under the hood of my car so I can make some power. Have most of the parts just haven't had time to get the work done.

Main goal is to not put a bullit in my head...

Hooker catback to replace the shitty flowmaster

Wideband 02 sensor to get the current setup tuned.

Torque arm and relocation bracket, Lower control arms and relocation brackets. 275/45/17 et streets, and a 3.42 rear end or 3.73 gears.

New lifters would be a good one too. Im sick of the LS7's loudness and lack of oil.

Finish the interior and drive it. Far as the heads and cam goes, the set up is done, nothing else I want to do to it. If I can get a solid year of having fun with it as is, then I won't feel bad when it comes apart for the 398 build.
