so should I stay with the BBK setup, or should i go with some other kind of brand. I'm not set on any exact brand at this moment. I want the best for my money
BBK is going to be the best of the best for your money. You could spend like 1K for SLP Headers if you want.. But BBK is right behind them and the difference between the performance gains in the parts are soo minimal its not worth paying for SLP, unless you really want them. Plus you could pay a lot of money for JBA or something along those lines, but like I said your going to spend so much extra money for minimal gains, so your basically paying for their name. A LOT of people are happy with their BBK performance parts. Im going with the BBK LT's and o/r X this christmas accompanied by my LM1's.

Noooo please dont go with exhaust etc... YET.'

build up your suspension and gears first...
then go with power... that way you can LAUNCH and no spin like a mad man

I say...

for your atuomatic 4.10 or 4.30 gears- Lower Control Arms, Drag Radials in the back.

then I would go with things like CAI,TB,PLEN, and EXHAUST.

What are your comments on these
magnaflow w/ catbacks $399.00
BBK offroad X pipe $195.99
BBK ceramic long tube headers $499.99
BBK plenum and BBK 75 mm TB $328.99
Steeda underdrive pullies $199.95
K and N cold air intake 204.41

this totals 1828.33

Any websites that I can look at to find cheaper parts or better parts will help
also anyone know how much horsepower these will give me and what my next upgrades after these should be

The K&N is a good cai. It'll have about the same gains as all the tuneableinduction ones.

you won't see any real difference between the K&N and tuneable induction kit. you're talking like less than 1HP difference probably. not really worth blowing almost $200 on a new intake.
