how mild/wild do you want your cam to be, and what's the budget?? what n/a hp goal do you have?

headers are easy...pacesetter coated

the rest...need more info.

TSP has great deals on H/C combo's for $1500. LS6 Style P+P'd Stage 1 heads.

Are you looking to keep the n2o? I'd search for H/C + n2o stuff. I imagine that you couldn't go to extreme w/ the cam on n2o.
McLeod makes good clutches. I haven't heard much negativity about the centerforce, tho. Other than they have slight disengagement issues due to the weights.

I also second Pacesetter coated LT's. Best bang for the buck.

Auto or manual?

If auto get a converter.

If not, you still need a lid and catback if you're all stock. Ever think about suspension/traction mods?

Start with the basics then think about getting a cam. Build a car not an engine. Otherwise you'll have guys with bolt ons out running your cammed car. Unless you're just lucky.

BTW, don't expect that Centerforce clutch to like extra power.
