Default What to do next!?!?!?!?

So I finally raked up the money to put more mods on the pony... Just don't know what to do next...Right now i have flowmaster exhaust, K&N CAI, and Hurst Short shifter... I have one of two choices for the next mods:

Choice #1. Long tube headers andH-pipe

Choice #2. Tune, 4.10 gears, throttle body, and plenum

Hope someone will help mewithmy choice...

Definately go with the gears. You will feel the most improvement with them.

I would go with the gears for now, then save the money from the throttle body andput that towardthe headers and mid pipe. Get the tune after you have the headers in place.You should be fine on the stock tune until you can get the headers on.

I think that order would have the best benefits. Out of all the mods you listed, I would do the TB and plenum last. It wont give you as much gain as the others.

get the gears dude. Then go with the others. Depending on how much you have, replacing that stock shifter (if that's what it is) will be a great benefit over that crappy stock shifter (if that's what it is). Enough of me rambling, GET GEARS!!!

Gears!... and get a tune for "Premium Only" fuel.

TB/Plenum won't help at all at your power lever.

Next mods.... suspension; c/c plates, springs, LCA's.

Thank you to all who have responded... I think I'll go with motivegears bbk headers and H-pipe(please tell me your opinions on these brand names)... also would I need to get the tune right away after putting the headers in or can it wait awhile? I'm asking cuz if i do get the headers i wont be able to tune the car until summer. not enough money[&o]
