Default CAMS OR HEADERS

I was wondering what would make more sense. To add cams and delete plates and go with 410 since the cams take away from the low end torque. Or would i be happier with long tube headers and either 373 or 410. Not sure so feel free to give any advice. Thanks everyone

I ALREADY HAVE SCT BRENSPEED TUNE, CAI. ITS AN 07GT AUTOMATIC

Buy ur gear get someone to install it then buy some LTs and do them urself (just get some prozac for during/after the install) and then do cams. What r ur plans for the car? If ur planning on doing heads I would wait and pull the heads, install the new H/C combo with longtubes makes it much easier.

I was definetly going to have someone do the install for the gears and probably the headers b/c i dont have the tools to do such a project and im not that mechanically inclined. My plans are to do gears, LT hearders, camsn, delete plates and a torque converter. Never really thought about changing the heads. If I did it would be a project id do in a couple of years. Id like to get this car to around 375 to 400 naturally aspirated. Might cost more but thats okay. I go to the track a couple of times during the year. Just for fun
