Default My next mod

Wanted to do a few more mods to my truck but funds are tight so i was thinking about do only one (or two) of the following. What would be the best one to do next to yeild the best results? They are all about the same price individually.

headers - looking at stainless - would like 1 7/8
converter - looking at vigilante or yank
cam kit - something in the 216/222 58x/58x 115 LSA range

Open to suggestions. Right now the truck has the Radix and dual cat back x pipe exhaust. I'm adding the 90mm TB jtube, e-fans from my f-body, pinning the crank and bigger idler pulleys. I've had these for a while but just no time to install.

Thanks

i would probably do the cam with the maggie unless you race a lot...

it will be all the time power... the converter would definately get you out of the hole quicker, but you would also be in more boost than with the stocker, so traction would probably get bad on the street...

that cam would add a good bit of noticeable power. if your tires hook though, the converter can peel off .3 -.5 seconds on a 1/4 mile run.

My choice out of that list would be headers to let that blown 6L breathe. Check with Kooks on the 1 7/8" headers. They were supposed to be releasing some for the trucks some time this year.

i was thinking of it that way but wanted to be able to drive on the stock converter.

trouble with headers is that I don't have a way to hook up the cats and pipes to the rest of my exhaust so that is one of the hurdles right now.

haha lol. i've checked with kooks every year since I owned the truck and i always got the same answer "ready in about 3 months". would love to get a set of kooks as i have them on my car and really like them but im leaning toward stainless works right now.
