I wouldn't start with a cam. 5.0's have gone into the 10's with a stock cam.
I would start with:
Underdrive pullies
Gears (switching to a 8.8 would be a good idea instead of building the 7.5)
Subframe connectors
Shortie headers and x-pipe
All of this would be smog legal(providing that you used cats) and would be a good base for future mods.
