Default What next for new member???

Right now i drive a 1997 chevy ecsb 5.7 with true dual glasspacks, airaid intake, taylor wires, and dual high flow cats. i had a hypertech and hated it so i will be ordering a custom tune from wait4me. my question is what would be the best mod i should go for next? I am a baseball player at St edwards university in austin texas and dont have a huge budget but have some money and will be willing to save for a little while.

they have software out to tune those trucks randy. i would try and get a set of long tube headers and a torque converter. headers for more power and a converter to be quicker.

long tubes was what i was thinking also. will the colectors match up with the cats or will i have to buy a new set? I have 2.25 inch pipes. also are paceseters the way to go?

If you get longtubes you will have to get a new y-pipe either with or without the cats or do your own fab work to retain the cats if that's what you want...
