Default What Next?

Well as soon as I sell my truck which should be within the next month I am gonna take 1,000 bucks and put into my camaro. Also within in the next month the car will be tuned. I am saving up till my truck sells also. I was just trying to get some opinions on what to do next. My goal by the end of august is to dyno at 400rwhp. No Nitrous..any help is greatly appreciated.

Current Mods:
MTI Lid, K&N air filter, Ported Throttle Body, LS6 Intake, Pacesetter headers, Custom true duals 2.5 inches all the way back over the axle magnoflow mufflers. Ls6 clutch and flywheel and Hurst 5.0 pro shifter.

I Am thinking a cam but dont know which is the best brand.

Heads/Cam...what brand and size depends on how you want to use the vehicle, how streetable and close to stock you want it to drive, etc. Do some searches and see what people are running...there are several good threads on running too big of a cam.

For 400rwhp I would consider a TR 224 or CheaTR cam with decent heads(possibly beyond your stated $1000 price point). There are other options, but both of those will provide you with a nice streetable car that idles close to stock and drives nicely without much loss on fuel mileage.
