You could go with an LT-1 cam which you can get on Ebay relatively cheap. As far as going with vortec heads, it would involve getting new intake manifold since the vortec heads has 8 intake bolts vice the regular 12 that is currently on your set up. You would also need to look into burning a new chip.
Can any one please help me on this stuff what works good for these cars I have a newer 350 that doesnt need rebuilt but Id like to go witha good cam and I have a 350 to 400 $ budget to get the engine stuffed in the car I dont know where the best bang for the buck is on these cars
