visually there isn't much of a difference between an ls1 and ls6 intake, we'd need to see the actual mfg #'s
Why do you want to go faster in first gear? With a 6 speed car, you'll be crossing the traps on a 1/4 mile IN 4th gear, thats inevitable, whether you have stock power or 500whp.
I STILL have a set of pacesetter LTs on my car, 1 3/4 inch. I'd look for either a 1 3/4 or the more preferred 1 7/8ths size. That gives you room to grow.
As for the cam (you only have one), it might be better to tell us what your goal with the car is? Is it all out drag? Something fun to DD? There are cam only cars running 9s in the 1/4 mile, a cam I'd recommend for that wouldn't be the same as one I'd recommend for an autox/rr car.

You dont want anything longer than 3.42's, I think 3.73 is ideal for a DD or weekend car, but id still be wary of the 10 bolt.
You should have a LS6 intake if you are 2001 (you can double check by looking for the EGR; LS6 intake manifolds did not have egr).
You seem new to this, read around these threads and do some searching on ls1tech.

I looked but did not see an EGR valve.
Not sure if I was looking for the right thing, but I think I have ls6
