As for cam it depends on what you want. The LT4 hotcam is about as big as you can go without changing your valvetrain and not needing a tune to get the optimum performance out of it.
As for a quote of $1000 to get the head gaskets changed, that is about right. The LT1 isn't a treat to work on but it is most certainly do-able. A weekend with a couple friends and you should be able to knock it out I would think.
I would save that $1000 and buy the gaskets and some headers, maybe a cam as well and you should see mid 13's, maybe low 13's with no trouble.

So yes, you can run the car with the factory tune, it just won't run to its fullest potential.
