Hey how are those headers? I was looking at them before, just want to know your opinion of them.

Now obviously this is a much more expensive route, but with all the money people spend on trying to make power, you can get a blower and make 400+ easily.

I'm with SVTeeshirt on the cams....get 96-98 Cobra intake cams. $150 + install, no need for supporting hardware, the gain is more from duration than lift. Be patient and find stuff second hand. I have SLP LTs & catted X, as well as 97 Cobra intake cams all ready for install that I picked up used for a total of $650. No way I'd afford them at retail price. Going that route will enable you to not have to choose which one you won't be able to get. As far as the blower idea presented, it's a matter opinion. Staying N/A, you won't have to worry about if the motor is being stressed too much or not, and you can say the power your making and times you're running is w/o any help. Going F/I, well that speaks for itself w/ the #s they make. I would only do it right by forging the motor and upgrading the entire fuel delivery system. That takes 10K laying around so the little bit at a time schedule w/ staying N/A suits alot of us well with some great #s if it's put together well and given a proper tune to suit the mods.
