What is your budget. Well, the obvious parts would include gears, LT headers, catback.

A little more involved and expensive mods that would REALLY help the blower out would be blower cams, a set of heads, intake manifold, etc....

Other than the basic boltons and cams there is nothing else really worthwhile other than building the shortblock. With a blower kit and the boltons (plus maybe cams) you can make more power than the stock shortblock is capable of handling.

another thing to look at if you really do plan on building the engine etc is to make sure you get a big enough fuel system to handle the horsepower number you eventually want to run.

okay well, I am deciding to go witha catback, and maybe cams. What would be more logical? Cams or headers? OH AND BTW what differences will I see/hear from the cats removed??

by feb i should have my whole suspension done minus UCA/LCA. I really dont know what else to do to prep for the blower. I mean I dont even want gears yet, until I decide how it will run with the f/i.
