Default 89 vette automatic, mods

My vette is stock and I would like to do runners, cam, headers and cat back exhaust. Any suggestions on camspecs and where to get parts would be helpful. Any other ideas I might have missed without spending a fortune?
thanks
JJG

Start with some bolt-ons.

AS &M large runners, TPiS BigMouth or Accel or Edelbrock manifold, Hooker 1 5/8" headers, whatever catback you like, ported plenum.

I have long tube headers and corsa exhaust and love the sound (of course, I have a 383 though). I have a miniram (powder coated red, looks cool), but most on the forum feel an auto would benefit from a super ram(driver useable torque). You can cut open your air lid (if you do a search you can see what I'm talking about) as for cam I have a comp cam 306-(love it slightly rough idle, but sounds mean no to much of a lope and still can use car as daily driver). Hope this helps...ohh I got my parts from http://exoticmuscle.com/webpage.php?EMCAT=vette
