Arrow 3k to spend what would you get?

I have an 04 GTO "the judge"(stickers give 20 Hp I hear) A4 with a CAI and shift kit. Im decent when it comes to putting parts in and reading of course (typical home garage builds lol) however im not super familiar with the LS series... yes ive done my research and have also read the forums but figured Id give you BAMF's a price range and see what responses id get.

what parts would you get for decent HP/TQ gains? (keep in mind to save about 350 for a dyno run/tune)

Thanks in advance also no need to worry about emissions

ok i have a decently built trans and stuff but as far as bolt ons? take it just the cam and head packages is pretty much it... im also looking into some headers so with all that said and done can you give me a rough estimated guess on what kind of rwhp gains im looking at?

In general about 400-450 hp
