There have been THOUSANDS of combos tried here. If you don't feel like searching, call up a sponsor and they will get you a cam to suit your needs.

Take your pick of sponsors-------------------------------------------------------------->

your not gonna get a cam, headers, exhaust and a tune for under a grand. my guess is you would need it installed also and you will need to upgrade the internals also so its gonna get expensive... btw you have an ls6 intake

Headers and Y pipe - about $500 if you price it right with pacesetters or something.
Cam, springs, lifters,pushrods - around $800
Oil pump, maybe ls6 or something ported - around $130
Dyno tune - anywhere from $300-$500.

That's just for a cam basically what you would absolutely want. Don't forget about a clutch to handle the added power and if you get a nice size cam or decent even for that matter.. you may want to change the rearend gears.
