Now if I can drop 1000.00 or less for a cam, bolt ons and a tune and make around 400fwhp then it is worth it to me to mod my LT1. If not I am probably going to leave it stock or do a LS1 swap into it.

Heads are stock replacements from Edelbrock with no work done to them. Same size comb. chambers, valves, etc with the only benefit for more material if you ported them. Flow numbers are very close if not identical to stock.
Regardless, a cam only car with supporting mods can do 350rwhp without much trouble. More with a more aggressive cam.
Swapping to a LS1 is not always practical. You need the supporting parts to make it all happen which are not all that cheap (harness, computer, k-member, etc).
