well do you have aluminum heads? If you don't buy aftermarket you could spend some dollars and have the stock ones worked on.

i know the LT4 hotcam kit is a very popular swap. that will put you somewhere between 390 to 420 hp depending on other mods with stock bottom end. i haven't looked into that for a very long time, but i think they are still right around $2500. just doing that swap puts you into the high 12s in the 1/4 mile. if you have a good clutch, full exhaust, intake, and some 3.73 gears, you will easily run mid to low 12s. hope this helps.
