Default Next Step? need advise

O.K. I'm almost broke and figured I would just blow the whole wad I have a '02 m6 conv slighty moded. I'm looking to kick up the HP and looking for some input. I currently have LG off road Long tubes, GHL bullets, Vararam, and CF hi flow air bridge, Nothing done to engine yet. Suspension has been lowered, Eradispeed 2-piece rotors (+2's on back), z-06 Calipers, 19 and 20" rims. Looks great, needs to go faster. I was thinking about an LS6 intake, Cam, and possibly heads. Haven't ruled out a rear end, but don't have the cash to do it all at once. So what is the best next mod? what type of cam? Want a streetable car with an attitude......Appreciate the help....

I would go with the Futral F13 cam with TEA heads. However if I were you I would go with a 3.90 or 4.10 gears before doing a cam.

What could I expect to pay to have set of gears installed? What gear does a stock 02' m6 have?
