Talking Want some ideas for some more Mod's

So, to start I just received a refund check that I was not expecting, that came in the amount of $2,650. Which really made my day to say the least. I've decided all of it is going to go towards some more modifications to my 2000 WS.6 Formula. My question is how and what should I go about doing with that much of a budget.

Here is what I have now:

The car has the LS-1 V8 with the WS.6 Package and the 4L60E Auto

-JAAMRAM Full Intake Kit
-SLP Induction
-BBK SSI 5005 Intake Manifold
-BBK Crank and Alternator Pulleys
-Pacesetter Shorty Headers
-B&M Shift Kit
-Magnaflow Cats
-SLP Y-Pipe
-SLP Loudmouth I Exhaust with Oval Tips
-Hypertech Engine Tune


I'm the next step should be a cam of some sort, but I'm no engine guru so I'm kind of lost as to what next step I should take.

This car serves as my daily driver so I'm looking for something to make it more aggressive yet still retain that daily drive reliability factor. Thanks for any inputs!

Well, it won't make it faster but a 9 inch rearend would be in that general price range and def save you some heartache in the future. Its a lot easier to come up with the money for lesser expensive upgrades so while you have the cash you may as well buy a big ticket item IMO.
