Personally Id do Heads/Cam and if you get that all at a good price and have some to spare, LS6 intake. Would be hard to get it all new for 2k but used, you could get lucky.

I just like the way they look. They looks pretty damn mean if you ask me. Yeah I raced one awhile back at thw tracks in San Antonio, it wasn't running but a 14.1 and that was an LS2 model. I'm thinkin' the driver didn't know what he was doing, and the car was also stock too.

Fully built 408 with a TT setup, cage, suspension, and built drivetrain. If you budget right it could happen, j/k. I think post #11 is going to net you the best gains.

Headers, headers, headers. I would buy some nice stainless ones, but that's just me.

Then you might consider a cam, or a torque converter ("stall" ).

EDIT: I just noticed you mentioned a Hypertech. A good dyno tune would also be worth your money, after other modifications.
