Cam, stall, and unless you like the sound, ditch the TB spacer.

cam and stall are definately whats going to make a noticeable difference. as far as little things. i think you've got it covered. long tubes would help you out but i guess the cali thing is why you chose the shortys

Cam, long tubes, dyno tune, and converter. I live in cali also, planning on swapping back to my stock manifolds and y-pipe before smog time.

pushrods, springs, ls2 lifters, and a non dod valley pan. The DOD lifters are only good to like a .550 lift. There are several threads on doing a nnbs cam swap. NNBS cam is a single bolt cam as where the older style cam is a 3 bolt. So other parts will have to bought.

sounds like a lot of work and money
but i bet the cam would make a difference
getting the heads ported sounds like a good idea
maybe get the tb ported too
