Post Planning some upgrades, need suggestions.

Hey all, just for a little background my 95V6 was swapped for a 98LS1 block about 2 months ago. I have worn it in quite well, and everything feels great.

I am now looking ahead to mods. I already have a CIA (remember its a 95, no air box) installed, and Corsa exhaust. I was considering a heads, cam swap and work on the suspension a bit. The factory DeCarbons have been on for over 95k.

I am looking for suggestions on a mild cam (ok its don't have to be too mild!) for the car, I take it to the strip about once a month and besides that I run it at night when cruising (read: not a daily driver). I want some good lope to it, nothing too rough.

I have a local mechanic that did the swap for me, I am sure he will have suggestions about the heads. Does anyone here have some numbers that have worked well for them?

Also in the valvetrain. Would I gain much with new RR's and springs?
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Suspension is another story. I took the car to about 130 a few weeks ago and it felt very loose, like I was floating on the ground.

I was thinking Koni SA's with new springs. Also SFC, LCAs, Pan-hard, Torque Arm. Not sure on brads for this stuff. Sonph has really good prices.
