Now for the original poster, I'd mod the exhaust, rear gears, intake, then heads cam, last. If you have a automatic don't forget a good stall converter.
The reason why I suggest gears before cam is; nothing sucks worse than having a highreving high performance SBC that won't come off of the line because you don't have enough gear to get the engine in the power band.

I've got LT headers, already with true duals. I thought gears were the last thing you wanted to change. "work from the front of the motor and go back."
Since your exhaust is done, I'd go cam, intake, cheap set of 1.5RRS like Scorpion. There's your $1500 right there.
Do the heads next year along with GOOD 1.6 RRs.
IMO gears are something you do AFTER you make power, not before.
