It depends on what you want out of the car. The more extreme you go, the more you lose gas mileage, drivability and overall street manners.

you might consider LTs first. Your cam will perform much better after headers....

Without headers, I'd stay under 5*overlap and and small.....

With headers, to stay fully daily driveable...i'd stay between 5-10* overlap, and the split(if you decide to do so) no more than 6*

Also, stay around 113 or higher
Lift under .600

and you're set!
