You can save the money from the headers and exhaust upgrade and put it towards a turbo & intercooler setup and skip the head upgrade entirely.

Many people are using the truck manifolds flipped over to exit forward and feed a front mounted turbo so you can use what is on the motor all ready.

You can make 600 rear wheel HP with an inexpensive Brazilian made Master Power MP70 turbo a cheap $150 intercooler, 50 pound injectors and a Z06 Vette cam & springs. No other mods needed to the engine. Stepping up to an MP76 turbo will give you a little more power ~650 rwhp.

These are from an F-body site but you can get the basic idea of the system and what needs done from them.

This is the setup I am working towards to replace the aging big block in my Camaro.
