Default What would you do?

In my situation...So i'm wondering how you guys would go about this. I want to bring some life to my 99 silverado ECSB w/ 230,000 truck was bought brand new by my dad he put around 60k on it till I bought it off him when I was 16 I put the rest on...I drive a lot. I have a camaro donor car and around 2k in cash to spend at the moment. Truck runs great and is extremely clean.

1999 Silverado 230,000 miles
-k&n air intake
-Gibson catback exhaust

1994 camaro (donor car)
LS1/4L60E (out of a 98 z28)
Edelbrock Victor Jr. High rise intake, Holley 750 double pump
Magic Stick V.4 239/242, .649"/.609" cam
Pacesetter LT's w/ texas speed true duals w/ moroso spiral flow
10 bolt with disk brakes and 3.73's also from the 98 z28
cars complete but stock other than that at the moment

I'm not sure on the lobe seperation of the cam I will have to check the cam card when I go home for leave in about a week. Any advice would be appreciated. Just looking for idea because im new to the performance world and not sure what should be swapped to the truck or would be the best way to spend the money. Thanks!
