Thanks guys, all the suggestions and help is greatly appreciated...I've been doing a ton of research to figure out what I'd need to get to my goal but having people who has been there and done it is priceless, also 85$ for a trans cooler and that's awesome will definitely pick one up , 200-400 for headers Is also great. Quick question though y or X pipe? And came size?
I also run this additive called lubeguard in my stalled transmission. It will keep your fluid 20-30 degrees cooler. I've tested it out and it's legit.

I'd recommend the TSP 228R cam, or the Torquer V2 cam. Those are medium sized cams with plenty of power. And I think Y pipes sound better IMO.

And I can probably search this but how hard is it really to change a cam, I've never done it but I'm good with my hands my cars usually never go to a shop for repairs.

And you'll probably want to replace your stock lifters with new stock ones, when the cam goes in.

True, I forgot about the pushrods. You really should just get aftermarket heads too, since the stockers have to come off anyway lol.

LOL I'm sitting here thinking about it now.....might as well get heads although I'd have to wait a while....if I didn't have to pull the heads off I'd be confident in doing it myself, but if they're coming off Im probably sending her to a shop

I definitely understand.....even if the heads do have to come off I'll probably still only do a cam heads are expensive and so is shop time, lol besides full bolt on f-bodies are plenty quick and with a cam I'm sure I'd be satisfied.

Absolutely. Texas speed has a head porting service for 750$ thst includes the 660 lift springs. I think it's worth it considering the springs are 200$ alone
Just something to consider

I went with a y-pipe, soon switched to an x pipe. got the local shop to do a set up for me cost about $500. plus $85 for the xpipe and a few hundred for nice mufflers. its all in how much you wanna spend and how you want it to sound. performance wise the difference is small between the two.
