Default What next?

Alright guys, I finally installed and changed all of the following:

Oil Filter
Motor Oil
PCV Valve
Fuel Filter
Distributor Cap and Rotor
Spark Plugs

I will be doing U-joints this weekend. I think that I might start my mods off with a pair of shorty headers, but I'm still trying to decide what brand. I know that MAC is the best right now but what is another good brand that is less expensive, good quality and good performance gains. Will I have to lift the engine at all?

beneath the pcv valve is a pcv filter, this filter being neglected is usually the cause of peoples oil leak problems, whatever is the weekest link will blow out like oil pan gasket, intake manifold gasket , or valve cover gasket etc.
napa carries them for like 5 bucks

i just got bbk equal length headers. driver side went in with no prob! the passanger side!! HAHAHA i have a few choice words for the guy that designed them!! LOL but ill keep them to my self, with the bbk headers i found that they did a real SH#ty job welding it! i had to take my dremel and grind all kinds of weld splatter and around the ports because alot of it would have restricted the Flow, well if u deside on geting the BBK hope you have better luck than me!!
