Default Advice

Hey guys, I have a 2010 Gmc 2500 with a L96 6.0l, I have already added an Airaid intake and poweraid spacer as well as an Edge evolution programmer. I also put on a flowmaster muffler. I dont really know where to go from here, do i get a new cam? if so what kind of VVT should i get? or headers? but long or short ones? And im thinking about gearing it down from 3.73 to 4.10, it will never have tires over 34'' btw. Or should i look at forced induction? so turbo or super? and i have no clue how the transmission will handle that, or the rest of the engine. Anyway just looking for some advice, i will be doing some short but heavy hauling and mostly daily driving with the occasional on/off road race. Thanks guys!
