Read these to get an idea on where you want to go. Also think about driveshafts, rear ends, and clutches if an M6/converters if auto.

Just remember it costs money to make power and it's not cheap at all. Hell just a cam upgrade can end up costing you $1600-$2200+ by the time you figure in the cost of the cam/springs/rocker upgrade/gaskets/tuning software or tune and then if an auto you'll need higher stall converter. Then you better hope your injectors/fuel system are going to keep up.
