Well since a new gear set is not on there I would get the CAMs as they sound sweet!

Don't bother with the exhaust, the cams would be nice however with anyones stage 2 kits they strongly recommend changing gears. 3.73's would do just nicely.

Gears and then the cams. The C&L is now out but it sells for about $700 to $800.

Honestly if you are considering all those at some point or another you should really just save your money for an SC. You could do the Vortech system cheaper then the parts and labor would be on that stuff and see a good 100 hp more.

My next mod is gonna be the Kook's LTs w/ catted H. Then a supercharger, but that is a bit down the road.

OP, I say get the LTs or a set of gears. If you go get cams you might need the gears depending on the cam you select.

Gears or headers, then cams. You really need the first two to properly take advantage of cams. You'll need the gears to get up to your new powerband quicker (and to offset any low end loss that some may have, but even then it's only a little). Also you'll need the headers to help with the flow to maximze your cam's gains.

I'll be doing headers here really soon myself, then gears then cams (and suspension somewhere inbetween, lol).
