1998 Lexus SC400 vs. Z28 M6

Today I raced with some hot babe in her 1998 SC400, and I have to say that this car is pretty fast. Till 60 we were even (due to my 60 foot burnout , after 80 she was on my rear fender. I didn’t know that those cars can do that (290hp and 310tq). I was disappointed by this "race". I was wondering what I can do to improve my car. My father is a mechanic so he could do some stuff for me, but he is a regular mechanic so I don’t think so he could build a stocker for me . Anyway I was thinking about LT4 hot cam and 1.6 RR, because they are easy to do. My goal is 320-340rwhp (enough to eat some stock LS1). What you think...How much it will cost me for those parts?
Thanks
ps. Are Long tubes really necessary with hot cam?

Intake, catback and some headers. Then maybe a nice set of gears. Then do something along the line of a hotcam. Heck, thats exactly what i did. In that order too!!!!! I should be around 320 rwhp after the hotcam. I'm having it installed right now and when i get it back im taking it to get dyno tuned. Ill let you know the outcome.

30-35 or so, blonde and very fast. We were racing on the regular street (35mph speed limit), but after we finish "our race" she floored and disappear in traffic. I am to poor to afford another ticket (and add 20% to my insurance), so I let her go......
